At the opening of his inquest at Douglas Courthouse yesterday it was revealed the student died of 'morphine toxicity along with alcohol, diazepam and codeine'. 

Coroner of Inquests John Needham passed his condolences to Mr Keggin's sister and partner who were in attendance and released his body so funeral arrangements can take place.
