The coroner's concerns

  1. 1. illicit drugs purchased online

    “The Deceased's parents informed the attending police officer that Mr [name redacted] had been buying drugs from the "Dark Web" and that packages containing these drugs had been sent, recorded delivery, via Royal Mail to his premises”
  2. 2. lack of investigation into illicit drug source

    “Subsequently, Mr [name redacted] parents contacted the then Chief Constable of Humberside Police, in 2023 informing him of their concerns about the lack of investigation on the part of the police”
  3. 3. loss of CCTV evidence

    “time sensitive evidence in the form of CCTV footage from the post office from whence the package was sent, is irretrievably lost”
