Berea Police are investigating after a woman died in a church on Chestnut Street.
It happened at the Oklevueha Native American Church of the Peaceful Mountain Way. Traditionally, the church believe in drinking a brew called Ayahuasca, a psychedelic liquid, consumed for the purpose of spiritual healing.
It’s not clear if that’s what a church member was doing when she passed away in the building on Saturday. According to a post by the church on their Facebook page, the woman tripped and fell and was knocked unconscious.

Berea Police say that at this point there’s not much they can do about the investigation.
“We did collect some evidence from the scene and some of that will be sent off to the KSP lab. We talked to everyone who was there. At this point no one is criminally charged. It’s just an active investigation and there’s a lot of unanswered questions,” Lieutenant Jake Reed told LEX 18.
The Madison County Coroner says her body went in for autopsy but they have not determined a cause of death yet.
The woman has been identified by the coroner as Lindsay Poole ,33, from Anderson, South Carolina.
