Connor Norman, 18, was found unconscious on the bathroom floor at a friend's house.

His stepfather attempted to revive him using CPR and paramedics took him to the Norfolk and Norwich.

However, doctors discovered he had suffered an irreversible brain injury and he died two days later.

An inquest into his death, held at Norfolk Coroner's Court this month, was told he had started taking cocaine in June 2024, after a relationship ended.

Two months later, Connor, from Aylsham, was taken to hospital after suffering a cocaine overdose, but he recovered.
