Artist Horsley Died Of Drugs Overdose

Outlandish Horsley, best known for his attempts at self-crucifixion, was found dead at his London home by his girlfriend Rachel Garley in June (10). He was 47.

He had just showcased a play based on his memoirs, Dandy In The Underworld, to great acclaim in London, and Garley admits in a statement that the star intended to celebrate his success with a drugs binge.

She says, "I last saw him on the evening of June 15 when we finished watching his play... He went back to his flat to celebrate and smoke drugs after the show."

And a coroner ruled on Tuesday (17Aug10) that Horsley died of "non-dependent abuse of drugs", stating there was no sign of any natural disease.
