He was found slumped in the bathroom after failing to turn up for dinner with his girlfriend.

A post-mortem examination on the 34-year-old found that he was suffering from an ischemic heart disease but the toxic level of morphine would have contributed to his death.

The inquest was adjourned to a date to be fixed.
