Dead man had taken methadone, inquest told

Peter Gannon, 31, was found lying on the couch by his uncle at the home they shared at Park Avenue in Clongriffin, Dublin, late on July 6 last year.

Dublin Coroner’s Court heard Mr Gannon had methadone in his system when he died, as well as therapeutic levels of prescribed anti-depressants. The autopsy also revealed that he was suffering from undiagnosed, severe heart disease, which coroner Brian Farrell said may have been a contributing factor in his death.
