At the inquest, which was held in Eastbourne Town Hall on Thursday (January 20), coroner Alan Craze also said there was no evidence of external injuries.
Pathologist Dr Zainab Ali said there no ‘serious medical conditions’ and ‘no clear cause of death’ was found.

Dr Georgina Rubery, who is from Mr Sanderson’s surgery but was not his GP, said he had no extensive medical history but had been in contact with STAR Drug and Alcohol Service.
Dr Rubery said she believes the cause of Mr Sanderson’s death was natural causes.
Mr Craze added, “The verdict, or the conclusion, of the inquest will be with two words, natural causes.
