Reality TV personality Jasmine Burkitt's provisional cause of death revealed. Read to know more

Reality TV star Jasmine Burkitt was on antipsychotic medication before she passed away, an inquiry into her death said. Over a decade ago, Jasmine, also known as Jazz, appeared on the BBC Three reality programme Small Teen Bigger World.

The 3 feet and 11 inches-tall celebrity joined her late mother Bev on the programme because she wanted to convey how, despite being born with dwarfism, her life was much like any other adolescent.

She passed away in June at just the age of 28. Jasmine experienced a decline in her mental health and had been living in a tent, according to testimony in an investigation into her health that has just begun.


According to the local media, she was discovered "unresponsive" on June 12 and attempts to revive her were unsuccessful.



The drug quetiapine, used to treat illnesses like schizophrenia, depression and bipolar behaviour, was detected in post-mortem toxicology results.

Jasmine's tentative cause of death was cardiac failure, the media reports said. A complete inquiry is also scheduled to happen later after additional investigations.
