An inquest into the death of Anele Tembe hears toxicology findings indicating alcohol, cocaine and prescription medication in her system. Evidence presented suggests that, despite those substances, she could physically have climbed over a 10th-floor balcony at the Pepperclub Hotel in Cape Town.

Other evidence discussed includes alcohol levels above the legal limit and traces of cocaine. Outlets also report that unexplained injuries, particularly to her neck, feature in the inquest. However, both toxicology testing and the post-mortem examination do not definitively establish what happened in the moments before she fell from the balcony.

While reporting focuses on different aspects—Daily Maverick highlights the physical-possibility evidence drawn from toxicology, and News24 emphasizes the measurable substance levels and injury findings—the inquest coverage is consistent that the available medical and toxicology results do not confirm the circumstances leading to the fall.
