Former Tory MP's son died in India after eating opium

London , Fri, 29 Apr 2011 ANI

London, Apr 29 (ANI): The son of a millionaire former Tory MP, who had come to India with one of his friends, died after eating some opium during the trip, an inquest has heard.

 

Nineteen-year-old Adam Coombs was with school friend Ross Taylor in Manali, Himachalo Pradesh, when the pair decided to buy the drug. Coombs ate the opium and fell into deep sleep. He failed to smoke the opiate, the Daily Mail reports.

 

Speaking at the inquest, Taylor said that after failing to wake the teenager the next day, he asked the landlady of the guesthouse were they staying at to call an ambulance.

 

"I shouted to get Adam an ambulance. She didn't seem to do anything. She seemed worried about the impact on her rather than the severity of the situation," the paper quoted 19-year-old Taylor, as saying.

 

Taylor had to carry Coombs to hospital in a motorised rickshaw, but the latter was pronounced dead on May 28 last year.

 

Adam was the son of Derek Coombs, MP for Birmingham Yardley between 1970 and 1974 and founder investor of the Prospect magazine. (ANI)
