An inquest found Nathan had also taken cocaine and had 207mg of alcohol per 100ml in his bloodstream – twice the driving limit.

His cause of death was listed as a head injury and a fall from a height due to cognitive impairment, a serious error of judgement, due to high levels of alcohol and cocaine use. Paramedics pronounced the 18-year-old dead shortly after 5am that morning.
