Former Springboks player Derick Hougaard recently emerged from a coma that lasted nearly a week. As he regains his strength, the question on everyone’s mind is what caused his mysterious ailment. The discovery of an unlabeled bottle of medication in his home has raised concerns about foul play.
On June 10, Nadine found Derick unresponsive in their home. He was immediately admitted to the ICU division of Steve Biko Academic Hospital in Pretoria East. A toxicology report revealed “elevated levels” of toxins in his bloodstream, which have since subsided over time.
The half-empty bottle of medication found in Derick’s home, without a label, has become the central focus of the investigation. It is believed to be a cough syrup and has been sent to laboratories for testing. Nadine has expressed concern that someone might have given Derick the toxic cough medicine.
Nadine has stated that Derick will soon reveal the truth about the medication and who provided it to him. Derick’s controversial friend Louis Liebenberg suspects foul play and has taken to Facebook to express his concerns. He believes that Derick was placed under unnecessary strong sedation and that something happened the night before he was found unconscious. Despite respecting Derick’s autonomy, he feels responsible for protecting his friend in times of crisis.
The truth behind Derick Hougaard’s coma remains unknown. The discovery of the unlabeled bottle of medication and the involvement of Louis Liebenberg only add to the mystery. Derick’s own account may shed light on the situation and bring clarity to the shadows of speculation. Until then, the story of the “toxic” medication continues to captivate and intrigue.
