Überlebende des "Champagner-Falls": Carola Potrz leidet bis heute unter schweren Folgen

Ein Schluck, der alles veränderte: Im Februar 2022 trank Carola Potrz in einem Weidener Lokal aus einem Glas, das flüssiges Ecstasy statt Champagner enthielt. Sie überlebte knapp. Doch bis heute leidet sie unter den schweren Folgen.

Carola Potrz stieß am 12. Februar 2022 mit Freunden in einem Lokal in der Weidener Innenstadt an. Doch in dem Glas war kein Champagner, sondern Liquid Ecstasy. Noch heute, knapp vier Jahre später, leidet die 41-Jährige unter den Folgen. Ihre Kunst hilft ihr, mit ihrem Schicksal umzugehen.
