Man died of heroin overdose
5/ 5/2008
MOHAMMED Shakeel died in his bedroom from a fatal dose of heroin just hours after complaining of toothache
An inquest in Manchester heard that a fatty liver caused by alcohol may have contributed to the 23-year-old’s death.
Coroner Nigel Meadows said Mohammed, of Delemere Road, Levenshulme, was found curled up on the floor by his mother on November 30 last year.
Near the body was a brown substance believed to be heroin and there were traces of cocaine in his system.
The family were unable to shed any light on his drug taking and the coroner said: "We don’t know if it was a one off or whether he had been using drugs regularly.
"He might have been trying to find relief from the pain of toothache."
Recording a verdict of death from non-independent use of drugs Mr Meadows concluded: "It’s the impetuosity of youth thinking you can do anything and survive."
