The death of a Saudi Prince after consuming a dangerous cocktail of drugs including alcohol, cannabis, Xanax and gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB), was made public through the testimony given at the inquest proceedings in the United Kingdom.
The 29-year-old Prince Abdullah bin Fahad bin Abdullah bin Abdulaziz bin Jalawi al Saud died on November 25 last year. He was found unconscious lying in the hotel bathroom in his fifth-floor room which had been locked from inside at the Marriott Hotel, Kensington. He was declared dead by the ambulance service after receiving calls from hotel employees who discovered the Prince's body after a cleaner entered the room. The investigation into the death of the Saudi Prince has caught global attention because of the way he died.
According to the inquest proceedings, toxicological tests indicated that the level of alcohol in his blood was 222mg/100ml, about three times higher than the legally permissible limit in the UK for driving (80mg). Furthermore, there were traces of GHB and other drugs including cannabis and alprazolam (Xanax) in his body.
Testimonies heard in court indicated that the Saudi Prince had issues with addiction before his death. It was established that he received detoxification services at London’s Priory Clinic three months ago, after which he was still undergoing rehabilitation in Rainford Hall, Merseyside and then at the Kensington hotel for one week. CCTV footage allegedly indicated that the night before his death, he was alone in the hotel and went out to smoke a cigarette and came back to his room.
There were no indications of a break-in or third-party involvement. It was also made clear that the prince was not under the category of suicide at the time of his rehabilitation, and the testimonies proved that he died due to unintentional poisoning because of the drug mix.
The Saudi Prince drug mix case is bringing attention back to the danger to health of the combined consumption of alcohol, sedative and recreational drugs. Business Honor observes that the tragedy highlights the importance of sustained addiction recovery support and greater awareness of the potentially fatal consequences of mixing alcohol with prescription and recreational drugs.
