Hollyoaks star Paul Danan's death was 'misadventure', a coroner ruled today.
The troubled actor, 46, who played bad boy Sol Patrick from 1997 to 2001 on the Channel 4 soap, was found unresponsive at home in Brislington, Bristol, on January 15.
Mr Danan, was later known for his reality TV appearances, including on Celebrity Big Brother and Celebrity Love Island, died from a cocktail of drugs including cocaine and heroin.
The inquest heard that Mr Danan's friends raised the alarm after not hearing from him for two days before he died, so they used a ladder to try and see him through an open window.
A neighbour entered the house where he found Mr Danan dead, sitting slumped at the edge of the sofa with the TV still on.
