Wellness retreat owner expresses shock following the death of Melbourne woman who consumed ‘mushroom’ drink

And while detectives will now begin interviewing everybody involved, both those who were at the private event and the first responders, the alarm was raised just before midnight on Saturday. Reports of a woman who was unconscious and unresponsive. We understand locals arrived 1st and performed CPR until paramedics arrived. They tried for another half an hour or so, but sadly 53 year old Ringwood N mum Rachel Dixon couldn’t be saved. Now there have been tributes pouring out for her online remembering her. As a loving and caring woman. It’s understood she was at a private event and that she and others had just ingested a drink that was made with mushrooms. Police are waiting for the result of a post mortem to find out whether or not that contributed to her death, but it hasn’t at this point been ruled out. Now the owner of Sobhan has released a statement online. She’s expressed her deep sorrow and shock at what happened. She said it was a private event and none of her staff were there, but that Solbarn will stay closed until police finished their investigation. This all happened includes near Ballarat. It is a small town, only around 1700 people. They are now rallying together. This is the latest in a long line of tragedies they’ve had to face. It comes just weeks after 23 year old local Hannah Maguire was allegedly murdered. They are coming together that. But the mayor has said the Shire is offering free counselling to the community as they try to endure yet another tragedy.
