So sad. RIP
A family has urged people suffering with drug addiction to seek help after a dad-of-two died following years of cocaine abuse.
On January 17 of this year, Stephen spent some time at his friend Sam's house in Coppull. He had a few drinks while he was there and although his friends didn't see him taking drugs they suspected he was under the influence of ketamine. In a statement Stephen's friend Reece said about the last time he saw him: "I didn't see him take any drugs but I could tell he was on them and I knew he was addicted to prescription medication. He was a really nice but troubled guy who had a lot of issues with drugs."
During his sessions with mental health practitioners Stephen reported that he drank and took drugs to "numb" his feelings. He experienced severe paranoia as well as feeling trapped and his drug use had led to him being unable to see his two young daughters. "Concerns were raised for his welfare when he hadn't been seen for several days and he was sadly found dead. The risks in taking a significant amount of cocaine, in this case, came to pass."
