Michael Campbell, 42, was found dead on February 22 last year at an address in Cardiff Road, North End.

Police attended the scene with a file prepared for the coroner before a hearing took place into Mr Campbell’s death.

Portsmouth Coroner’s Court has now heard Mr Campbell died from “mixed drug intoxication and bronchopneumonia”.

Drugs found in his system were methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), diacetylmorphine (heroin), pregabalin and cocaine.

The coroner recorded an open verdict.
