Men died after believing heroin was cocaine
Two Southampton men died in a Cambodian hotel room after snorting a lethal form of heroin known as “China White” thinking it was cocaine, an inquest heard today.
Mark Ganley, 33, and David Hunt, 36, were found dead in their beds wearing only towels in the Royal Highness Hotel, Phnom Penh, on February 17 this year.A plastic bag with 0.13g of white powder heroin and a 2,000 reil note wrapped into a tube were found beside them, with a bottle of Tiger beer and some cigarettes. A Cambodian report concluded they most likely died from a “drug overdose absorbed through the nose”.
Embassy officials in Cambodia told Mr Ganley’s family the powder was “China White” heroin, the inquest heard. Hampshire Police Detective Constable Annie Hodge told Southampton Coroner’s Court most UK heroin is brown but “China White”, seen in this country in the 1980s but not common today, is white and twice as strong. She said snorting a line of ‘China White’ which is 80% to 100% pure would kill someone quickly.
Mr Ganley, a company director, lived in Thailand, but had family in Portswood, Southampton. Mr Hunt lived in a flat in Portswood and had worked for three years for Portsmouth-based news agency M&Y. Coroner Keith Wiseman recorded a verdict of accidental death and gave his “sincere condolences” to the families of the men.
