Summarised from North Wales Live's report · Updated 5 Nov, 10:35 · Archive

A coroner has concluded that a man found dead with a note intended for his mother did not plan to end his life.

Graham Murray, 42, from Menai Bridge, Anglesey, was found dead in his friend's flat in July. A coroner's inquest heard that although a note was found addressed to his mother Kay Lowe, assistant coroner Sarah Riley concluded his death was drug-related and not intentional. Mr Murray's mother said she knew her son had been carrying the note for almost a decade, and that he had once thought he would die at 33.

Mr Murray had been using cocaine and was on anti-psychotic medication. He was living with a friend named Gary Griffiths in a ground floor flat. On the morning he died, Mr Griffiths left the flat at 3.30am because of the heat, leaving Mr Murray in front of the fireplace. When he returned, Mr Griffiths found Mr Murray on the bed with a syringe. Mr Murray had lost his partner Teresa to cancer some time before his death.
