Freddy Civil, the younger brother of the singer's former lover Blake Fielder-Civil, died on April 26 last year after a heroin overdose, an inquest heard.
Pathologist Lisa Barker told the court: “It was indicated as the lower end of the fatal range. It might be survived by someone who regularly took heroin, because they build up a tolerance, but it might even have overdosed a chronic user. It was in the fatal range, even for somebody with a history of taking heroin.”
Detective Constable Charlotte Carroll told the court that Mr Civil’s friend, Dennis Lennon, had raised the alarm with hotel staff after Mr Civil injected himself with the drugs. The court heard Mr Lennon raced downstairs and told staff: “Ring an ambulance, I think he’s dead.” Mr Civil’s mum, Georgette Civil, had concerns over her son’s care at the unit, the court was told. In a statement read out to the court on her behalf, she said he had ballooned from 9st to 17st since being detained.
