Reports claim he consumed two 50mg tablets of sildenafil, the drug sold under the name Viagra, and woke up the next morning with a feeling of “uneasiness”.

According to theJournal of Forensic and Egal Medicine, he suffered a cerebrovascular haemorrhage, a rare effect of having booze and Viagra at the same time.

The woman he was with asked him to seek help when he began throwing up but is understood to have ignored her.

He said he had experienced the symptoms before.

His symptoms continued to worsen and his health deteriorated. By the time he arrived at the hospital, he was already dead. The haemorrhage caused a reduced flow of oxygen to his brain.

The man was found with a blood alcohol level of 0.186, well over the safe driving limit.

Later, it was found in the autopsy that his pre-existing high blood pressure, the medication and booze were the three contributing factors in his death.
