Son of millionaire former Tory MP died after eating opium while on gap year to India | Mail Online

Son of millionaire former Tory MP died after eating opium while on gap year to India | Mail Online: "The son of a millionaire former Tory MP died after eating opium during a gap year trip to India, an inquest heard.

Adam Coombs, 19, was with school friend Ross Taylor in the Himalayan town of Manali - on the so-called hippy trail - when the pair decided to buy the drug.

Having failed to smoke the opiate, the teenager ate some instead and fell into a deep sleep from which he never woke, the coroner at the inquest was told.

After Mr Taylor couldn't wake him the next day he asked the landlady of the guesthouse they were staying at to summon an ambulance.

Ross, also 19, ended up carrying Adam outside where he was rushed to hospital in a motorised rickshaw. But Coombs was pronounced dead on May 28 last year."
