High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Rachel Whitear (6 February 1979 - 10 May 2000) was a British student from Ledbury, Herefordshire who died following a heroin overdose. Her death in May 2000 led to a large-scale anti-drugs campaign in Britain, particularly in secondary schools, when her parents allowed a police photograph to be shown publicly it showed her discoloured body collapsed in the foetal position. The school campaign was centred on a 22-minute video called Rachel's Story. The campaign was seen as an equivalent of the anti-ecstasy drive undertaken after the death of British school girl Leah Betts in 1995 and a parallel incident culminating in the death of Anna Wood in Sydney, Australia. Whitear was twenty-one years old when she died, having been found dead in her bedsit in Exmouth, Devon, by her landlord. The image portrayed in the campaigns was that of a normal, everyday girl, with the message that it could happen to anyone.
