Parents’ Worst Nightmare: The Story of Madeleine McCann

Accidental Overdose?

Pat Brown, told news.com.au “The evidence supports the theory of an accident occurring through neglect and possible medication.” Others have alleged similar things, such as a French newspaper, shortly after her disappearance, alleged that Madeleine died from an accidental overdose of sleeping medication. Guilhem Battut, who works as an investigative journalist for France Soir, said Portuguese police believed that the evidence indicates that Madeleine had taken sleeping pills in large quantities.

Pat Brown also asserted in her statements that she believes it’s unlikely a trafficker would abduct a British blonde child, as they would know it would generate major attention into the case. Pat Brown also says they are spending money looking in the wrong direction of this case when that money could go towards children who are actually missing.
