I used to watch Hollyoaks back in the day when he was in it. I always had him down as "bit of a tt, but a likeable one", a harmless village idiot.

The actor had been due to appear at Warrington Magistrates' Court on Thursday, charged with possessing several bags of cocaine and a "quantity" of cannabis, the PA Media news agency reported. He had also been accused last October of driving while under the influence of drugs in the Cheshire town

I guess he was facing possession with intent to supply and was going to prison for a fair old stretch and has sadly chosen a very definite way out of that. Sad that someone should end up like this.

He was probably/possibly messed up mentally due to excessive amounts of cocaine consumption which helped to make the decision to hang himself or whatever he did. Very tragic.

He was always a bit wild. I liked him in Hollyoaks, but after that he came across as a tit in all the reality shows he did.

I'm pretty sure it wouldn't have been a custodial sentence.

Besides, vaping is what caused his death.

Has the coroner given a verdict already? All I can see is that it's "not being treated as suspicious".

Several bags doesn’t make someone a drug dealer to be honest. Given he was a known heavy user it may just have been his next couple of nights worth.

Same here. The article mentions he had previously been hospitalised with pneumonia, which may have been as result of excessive vaping, but it’s a bit of a leap to suggest that vaping caused his death.

Lungs failing due to vaping only a few months back to now dead? Not sure that’s much of a leap to make.

Your previous post was definitive in the cause of death (vaping); that’s a leap given the cause of death hasn’t been disclosed.
