A 20-YEAR-OLD man died after taking a cocktail of drugs, an inquest heard.

Unemployed Samuel Karim, of Pier Road, Northfleet, was found dead in his home on July 30.

An inquest at Gravesend Coroner's Court on October 30 heard he had been looking after the house while his mother was on holiday.

Coroner Roger Hatch heard Mr Karim had gone out with friends on July 27 and was in high spirits. Later that night, his mood changed as he spoke to a friend about personal problems.

His stepfather found him on July 30 and called for an ambulance.

Mr Karim's death was caused due to mixed drugs intoxication, the inquest heard.

The coroner recorded a verdict of death by misadventure.
