Charles George King, an 84-year-old from Romford, was found dead in his bed, leading to an inquest at East London Coroner's Court. His daughter discovered him after concerns arose about his lack of communication. Police ruled out foul play, leading to a post-mortem examination that revealed acute respiratory failure and drug-related toxicity contributed to his death. The coroner noted on record that while toxicity was not the sole cause, it significantly contributed to Mr. King's demise. The inquest aims to investigate the circumstances surrounding the death and prevent future incidents.
It seems to me that it is arguable the toxicity played a causative or contributory role in the death. It was not the sole factor, but nonetheless it seems to have been a more than trivial factor.
The coroner opened an inquest into Mr King's death at East London Coroner's Court, stating that inquests are held in the public interest to investigate unnatural deaths.
