The son of rock star Nick Cave fell to his death after taking LSD, an inquest has heard.

Arthur Cave, 15, suffered a fatal brain injury after plunging from a cliff onto the underpass of Ovingdean Gap in Brighton, East Sussex, on July 14. The student was taken to the Royal Sussex County Hospital but died that evening.

An inquest at Woodvale Crematorium in Brighton heard that Arthur was seen “staggering” on his own moments before he fell off the cliff.
