Man Choked To Death On Own Vomit
A man who was drunk and on sedatives died after choking on his own vomit, an inquest has found.
Thomas Mervyn Hanvey, 55, was found dead at his home in Princess Way, Portadown, Co Armagh, on October 26 2009.
Belfast coroner Brian Sherrard said Mr Hanvey died from inhalation of gastric contents due to acute alcohol intoxication combined with diazepam and chlorpromazine.
The inquest was delayed until now as Mr Hanvey’s family argued that an alleged assault may have contributed to his death.
