Young dad, 31, who went out partying to celebrate beating cancer died when he drunkenly fell down a cliff
Tragic Adam Fenton, 31, was on a night out with friends just three weeks after getting the all clear
A DAD tragically died after falling off a cliff at a party to celebrate him beating cancer.
Adam Fenton, 31, tried to find somewhere to sleep off the booze when he slipped off a 50ft rock face.
He had been on a night out with pals just three weeks after getting the all clear for aggressive B-Cell lymphoma.
Roofer Adam, who was engaged to fiance Carly Blackman, 33, had undergone six months of gruelling chemotherapy treatment.
The dad-of-three was last seen on CCTV at 3.30am leaving a nightclub in Newquay, Cornwall on 29 July.
His body was found three hours later on July 29 by a dog walker near Towan Beach in the town.
DC Jazz Yewen, from Newquay CID, said Adam had taken an unusual way home, and couldn't explain why he didn't take a more direct route, an inquest in Truro heard.
"We know that Adam left the pub at 3.33 in the morning.
"Instead of carrying on the road he then turns left into beach road.
Adam's mother Linda Fenton stressed that she thought it was unlikely that his death was suicide.
She told the inquest: "He would not have gone over there and jumped.
"If he felt that down it would have been when he was being treated for cancer, because he was very unwell but even then he said to me 'I've got nine lives mother'."
A toxicology report found Adam had 190mg of alcohol in his blood - two and a half times the drink-drive limit - and 96mg of cocaine.
Coroner Andrew Cox said: "The alcohol and the drugs that were found in the blood samples have not had a direct impact on the death.
"That being said both the alcohol and the cocaine may have affected his judgement.
We were celebrating. We thought he would never get through it but he responded to the treatment. It was unbelievable

"Miss Blackman made it very clear to Mr Fenton that if he was going to drink he had to sleep elsewhere.
Carly's mum Rebecca Watson, 53, said: "We were celebrating. We thought he would never get through it but he responded to the treatment. It was unbelievable.
"He got the all clear three weeks ago and now he's dead."
Verdict: Accidental death.
