Stuart Cable Had 'Toxic' Amount of Alcohol in His System
An inquest has found the former Stereophonics drummer choked to death on his own vomit...
An inquest in his home town has recorded a verdict of 'accidental death'.
The musician was found unconscious on the floor by his girlfriend following a three day bender back in June.
She flagged down a passing car, which happened to contain Cable's cousin Aaron.
Detective Sergeant Richie Jones, giving evidence at the inquest, said Mr Cable went into the house and saw his famous relative unconscious on the floor.
He went over to him and said "come on Stu wake up it's Aaron," Mr Jones said.
"He pushed him on to his back, wiped the vomit from his mouth with a cloth and started CPR," he added.
Paramedics then arrived but where also unsuccessful in reviving the musician who was taken to hospital and later pronounced dead.
Cable was found to have so much alcohol in his system it was regarded as toxic.
Following the inquest a family friend read out a short statement which said they "could never put into words how much Stuart meant to them".
