Anna Wood (born 1980)
Anna Victoria Wood (27 May 1980 – 24 October 1995) was an Australian teenager who died after collapsing into a coma due to water intoxication, after taking an ecstasy tablet at a rave in inner city Sydney. Her death was initially considered to be the result of a contaminated tablet, but it was later determined that she had died from the effects of water intoxication secondary to use of MDMA.
Wood's death was covered widely in the media and produced debate on drug use among adolescents. Much of this was about the fear that illicit drug use was increasing both in Australia and internationally, neglecting the circumstances surrounding Wood's death as well as her representation as a normal, everyday girl.
== Events leading up to death ==
Wood had recently left Forest High School to pursue a career in beauty therapy at a salon near her home in Sydney's North Shore. On 21 October 1995, Wood and a group of school friends attended an "Apache" rave dance party at the Phoenician Club on Broadway in Ultimo, in inner-city Sydney. She had told her parents that she was going to a friends house to have a sleepover.〔Donaghy, ''Anna's Story''〕 Wood and her friends bought and consumed ecstasy tablets from a female friend outside the club prior to entering.〔 At approximately 5 am on 22 October, Wood began feeling unwell inside the club and was seen rushing to the toilets, where she was found vomiting.〔Donaghy, ''Anna's Story'', pp 156–157〕
Her friends drove her back to one of their homes in Belrose where she was put to bed. Wood's symptoms showed no signs of improving: there were continued episodes of dry retching, intermittent sleep, confusion and possible convulsion-like movements, followed by a lapse into unconsciousness. At 10 am Wood's parents were informed, who called for an ambulance and had her taken to the Royal North Shore Hospital in St Leonards. Wood remained in a coma throughout the period and did not regain consciousness; she died on Tuesday, 24 October.
