Max Mosley’s son died of drug overdose

ALEXANDER MOSLEY, son of Formula One boss Max Mosley, died of non-dependent drug abuse, a coroner has ruled.

Long-term heroin user Mosley, 39, was discovered slumped at his desk wearing only his boxer shorts and surrounded by drug-taking paraphernalia.

Mosley, who suffered from depression, died of cocaine intoxication, Westminster Coroner’s Court heard.

Restaurateur Mr Mosley was discovered by his cleaner at his luxury home in Notting Hill, west London, on May 5.

The inquest was told that Mosley started using drugs to cope with his shyness.
