The Saudi Prince who died in a luxurious London hotel had ingested a huge cocktail of drugs and alcohol, causing him to suffer cardiac arrest, an inquest ruled Thursday.<\/p>\n

Abdullah bin Fahad bin Abdullah bin Abdulaziz bin Jalawi al Saud, 29, was almost three times the drink-drive limit and had traces of the party drug gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB) and Xanax in his system, an inquest at a London coroner\u2019s court heard, according to The Telegraph.<\/p>\n

His blood alcohol concentration (BAC) was 0.222%. The legal limit in the UK is 0.08%. <\/p>\n

The prince was found in his bathroom by a maid at the approximately $800-per-night Marriott Hotel in swanky Kensington, London, on November 25 last year.<\/p>\n

Paramedics were unable to resuscitate him and he was pronounced dead at the scene.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The court also heard that just three months prior to his death, al Saud was an inpatient at the Priory Clinic in Roehampton, where a single week\u2019s stay can cost up to $47,000.<\/p>\n

Dr. Victoria Chamorro, a consultant psychiatrist, said in a statement that he had \u201cengaged well\u201d with his detox treatment at the Priory, which \u201cproceeded without physical side effects,\u201d The Telegraph reported.<\/p>\n

He was there to detox from alcohol, benzodiazepines and the anti-anxiety drug pregabalin, the outlet noted.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was supportive and kind to his peers, making friends,\u201d Chamorro said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was assessed as having symptoms of low mood and anxiety on admission,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen he was discharged, he was considered not to be at risk of suicide. He was discharged with a friend but then failed to attend scheduled Zoom appointments.<\/p>\n

\u201cNevertheless, there was no concern for him. He engaged well and completed his treatment,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

After the Priory, al Saud also underwent another round of treatment at the $9,200 Rainford Hall clinic in St. Helens, Merseyside.<\/p>\n

He reportedly recovered and left the facility on October 14.<\/p>\n

A post-mortem examination determined that the royal had suffered cardiac arrest.\u00a0He was not suffering from any acute or chronic illnesses.<\/p>\n

He was last seen on CCTV footage going outside to smoke a cigarette.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

British authorities believe that he did not intend to kill himself.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cPassed to the mercy of God Almighty His Highness Prince Abdullah bin Fahd bin Abdullah bin Abdulaziz bin Musaed bin Jalawi Al Saud, outside the Kingdom, and will be prayed for today, Tuesday, 11\/6\/1447 AH, after the Asr prayer at the Imam Turki bin Abdullah Mosque in Riyadh,\u201d the Saudi Royal Court said in a statement after his passing.<\/p>\n

\u201cMay Allah bless him with His mercy, forgiveness and acceptance, and grant him a spacious abode in His Paradise, for we belong to Allah and to Him we shall return.\u201d<\/p>\n
