Saudi Prince Abdullah bin Fahad bin Abdullah bin Abdulaziz bin Jalawi Al Saud has been found dead at a London hotel. The death was apparently due to an overdose of drugs and alcohol. He was found dead in his room at the Marriott Hotel in Kensington on November 25 after suffering a cardiac arrest caused by multi-drug ingestion, as reported by media outlets like The Sun and Daily Mirror.
As per reports, the inquest heard that toxicology tests found Prince Abdullah had a blood alcohol concentration of 222mg per 100ml of blood, almost three times England’s legal drink-driving limit. Experts told the court that the alcohol level alone could have induced a coma.
Reportedly, the prince had checked into the five-star hotel on November 19 for a week-long stay and was captured on CCTV when he stepped outside for a cigarette before returning to the hotel.
Following an inquest at Inner West London Coroner’s Court, Assistant Coroner Jean Harkin concluded that Prince Abdullah died from multi-drug ingestion, recording a verdict of death by misadventure, meaning the death was accidental.
