A massive allergic reaction to hair glue may have caused the death of Jamaican-born Atasha Graham in London, the Daily Mail has reported.

During a hearing at London's Southwark Coroner's Court about two weeks ago, pathologist Dr Michael Heath explained that the 34-year-old may have died from the latex glue used to apply her extensions.

Graham had been reportedly using hair extensions for 14 years.

It is reported that on May 15 of last year, Graham had been dancing at a club and was fine until she stepped through the doorway of her home in Lee, southeast London, at 6.30 a.m., then suddenly collapsed and stopped breathing.

A post-mortem failed to find any abnormalities with her organs or substances which could have caused her death.

According to the Daily Mail report, the pathologist also told the hearing that traces of glue or solvent could have seeped into her bloodstream hours later, after she started perspiring on the dance floor.

Graham, who had eaten jerk pork and Chinese before going out, did not have any history of food allergies.

The pathologist has ruled out reactions to food and alcohol and said there were no drugs in her system.
