Man Cleared Over Wife's Honeymoon Overdose
A coroner has recorded an open verdict in the case of a woman who died of a drug overdose while on honeymoon.
During an inquest the woman’s husband had faced tough questions about his involvement in her death.
31-year-old Damian Cadman-Jones and his wife, Kristy, had been married for six months when they decided to take their honeymoon and visit south-east Asia in a four-week trip, taking in Thailand and Vietnam before travelling to Phnom Penh.
Kristy Cadman-Jones died in her sleep in the couple's hotel room at the Regent Park Hotel in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, on 9 January this year.
At the inquest into her death at Leicester town hall, where the couple were married in July 2011, deputy Leicestershire coroner Donald Coutts-Wood heard how the 27-year-old recruitment consultant died after taking heroin, which she mistakenly believed to be cocaine.
Her cause of death was given as morphine and codeine toxicity that was as a result of taking the drug.
