Former Radio 1 breakfast DJ Kevin Greening died from a drugs overdose, a hearing has found. Greening, one of CMU's favourite radio DJs, and most recently a presenter on Smooth FM, died at New Year aged just 44.
A hearing at Westminster Coroner's Court this week heard that Greening died from "mixed drugs toxicity" after taking various illegal drugs prior to partaking in what the coroner described as "unorthodox sexual behaviour" - a bondage session with boyfriend Sean Griffin that involved cling film, gaffer tape and a leather sling.
Griffin was cautioned on drugs charges at the time, but was quickly cleared of initial murder charges once the circumstances surrounding the DJ's death had been properly investigated. His death was put down to misadventure.
Commenting on the events immediately prior to Greening's death, Griffin told reporters yesterday: "Kevin and I had a very happy and very vigorous sex life. It was not conventional by heterosexual norms perhaps but it was a sex life which was vigorous and imaginative and we enjoyed each other".
