Model who boasted about flash lifestyle while wanted for steroid dealing died from taking drugs
A MODEL who boasted about his flash lifestyle while wanted for steroid dealing died from taking drugs, an inquest heard.
Terrence Murrell, 36, was found dead in his bedroom in January.
Earlier, he had gone to hospital when his partner found him distressed from taking cocaine and magic mushrooms.
But he refused help and returned home to Ashampstead, Berks, the Reading inquest heard.
In 2019, he fled to Bali to dodge charges of dealing £2million of steroids.
He posted pictures of his pool and four-poster bed to his 500,000 Instagram followers who have hailed him a “legend”.

But he was extradited to Britain to serve his 37-month sentence before being freed in 2022.
Coroner Hannah Godfrey said: "Mr Murrrell had no history of deliberate suicidal drug overdose, but he did have a history of high daily drug use.
"I find the levels of drugs identified in the toxicology report are not so high as to prove, on their own, a suicidal intent in the context of a user known to take 1.5g of Cocaine daily who would have had a high tolerance
"His intentions when taking the drugs he ingested are unclear.”
