Natasha Harris died on February 25, 2010, after her partner Christopher Hodgkinson found her seated on the toilet, slumped against the wall and gasping for air at their home in Invercargill on New Zealand's south island.
An inquest last year revealed that she would drink at least four 2.5litre bottles of the fizzy drink each day, consuming more than twice the recommended daily caffeine consumption and more than 11 times the recommended sugar intake.
New Zealand coroner David Crerar said today that Ms Harris would not have died if it wasn’t for her dependence on Coke.
'I found that, when all of the available evidence is considered, were it not for the consumption of very large quantities of Coke by Natasha Harris, it is unlikely that she would have died when she died and how she died,' reported the Bussleton-Dunsborough Mail.
The coroner's report revealed Ms Harris suffered from a myriad of medical conditions, including a racing heart and 'absent teeth', which her family say was caused from Coke consumption.
Natasha Marie Harris was said to go 'crazy' if she ran out of the fizzy drink which she guzzled by the bottle.
Mr Hodgkinson said she had been unwell leading up to her death and had no energy, but the idea Coca-Cola caused the problem had never crossed their minds.
Mr Hodgkinson told the court that she had been unwell up to a year before her death, including vomiting six times a week, but they believed it was caused by the stress of looking after her eight children and gynecological problems.
'She drank at least 10 litres a day,' he said. 'As a family we wouldbuy four 2.5 litres a day, the maximum on special.
'The Coke would be for Natasha to consume over the course of the day.'The first thing she would do in the morning was have a drink of Coke and the last thing she would do in the day was have a drink of Coke by her bed.'
Police who investigated the death, which happened on February 25, 2010, estimated she consumed, on average, seven litres a day.
