The autopsy report of Saudi Prince Abdullah bin Fahad, who was found dead in a luxury hotel in London's Kensington district, has been released.

The prince had previously undergone addiction treatment, but no evidence of suicide was found in the incident.

The autopsy and toxicology report of Saudi Prince Abdullah bin Fahad, who lost his life in a luxury hotel room in London, the capital of England, has been released. Fatal levels of drugs and high amounts of alcohol were detected in the body of the 29-year-old prince.

Prince Abdullah bin Fahad bin Abdullah bin Abdulaziz bin Jalawi al Saud, a 29-year-old member of the Saudi royal family, died on November 25 at the Marriott Hotel in the Kensington district of London. The young prince, found lifeless on the bathroom floor of his £600-per-night room by a housekeeper, passed away at the scene despite all interventions by medical teams.

ALCOHOL LEVEL THREE TIMES THE LEGAL LIMIT IN HIS BLOOD

Striking details regarding the prince's cause of death were shared during the investigation hearing at the West London Coroner's Court. Toxicological tests revealed that the alcohol level in Prince Abdullah's blood was 222 milligrams per 100 milliliters. It was noted that this amount is nearly three times the legal drink-driving limit in England and could alone cause a coma.

Examinations also found fatal levels of the drug GHB (gamma-hydroxybutyrate) in the prince's body, along with cannabis residues and various anti-anxiety medications, including Xanax. It was confirmed that Prince Abdullah died of a heart attack due to a mixture of drugs and alcohol.

HAD UNDERGONE ADDICTION TREATMENT

Court records stated that the prince had been struggling with alcohol and Xanax addiction before his death. Prince Abdullah, who underwent detoxification treatment at the Priory Clinic in London in August of last year, was reported by his psychiatrist Dr. Victoria Chamorro as having no suicide risk upon discharge and successfully completing his treatment.

NO SUSPICION OF SUICIDE

It was learned that the prince, found dead in his fifth-floor room, had checked into the hotel on November 19 for a one-week stay. Assistant coroner Jean Harkin stated that, based on the findings, there was no evidence to suggest the prince intended to end his own life. First photos of the Saudi prince, described by those around him as a "quiet and beloved member," were also shared with the public after his death.
