His family have been told the drugs may have contributed to his death, but there is 'no certain answer'
Kate Roux with her son Ben, who was found dead at a homeless hostel in Harrogate at the age of 16
Forensic Pathologist Dr Carl Grey, who conducted the autopsy, said drug abuse is believed to have caused the teenager’s death. “In my opinion, on the balance of probabilities and in the absence of evidence of any other cause, the most likely cause of death is drug abuse, in particular cocaine.” He was arrested on suspicion of several offences, including theft and criminal damage, over the following years and in September 2019 a review involving several safeguarding agencies found he was at “medium risk” of criminal exploitation.
Mr Nelson-Roux was asked to leave home in January, after he became increasingly violent and abusive, and he continued to commit offences, while under the influence of drink and drugs.
