A toxicology report showed evidence of ‘abuse of anabolic steroids’ and the medical cause of death has been given as ‘sudden cardiac death due to left ventricular hypertrophy in the context of anabolic-androgenic steroid abuse’.
The post-mortem examination demonstrated ‘left ventricular hypertrophy which, on balance of probabilities, is connected with the steroid use and has led to a sudden fatal cardiac dysrhythmia’.
The coroner rules the death as ‘misadventure’.
