Love Island star Mike Thalassitis killed himself after consuming cocaine and alcohol and leaving notes for his family, an inquest has heard.
The 26-year-old reality TV star and former footballer was found hanged in a park in Enfield, north London, on 16 March this year.
An inquest into his death heard how toxicology results showed there was cocaine, alcohol, paracetamol and antidepressants in his system at the time of his death.
Senior coroner Andrew Walker said the blood and urine concentrations were “consistent with alcohol intoxication”.
Earlier this year, a coroner in Tyneside issued a warning about mixing alcohol and cocaine after another Love Island star, Sophie Gradon, hanged herself having consumed both substances.
The coroner at Ms Gradon’s inquest said research in the US showed the combination was known to make someone 16 times more likely to kill themselves.
Mr Thalassitis was found by a jogger in Church Street Recreation ground next to Haselbury Road in the north London borough where he lived shortly before 9.30am.
An officer who attended the scene said a black notebook was found near where Mr Thalassitis died.
Giving evidence, PC Emma Clauson said: “I looked through the notebook which was a sort of combination of a diary and letters and positive thoughts.
“At the back of the diary was a number of notes that had been addressed to his family.”
Recording a conclusion of suicide, senior coroner Andrew Walker said: “There were a number of notes left behind and messages in which Mr Thalassitis clearly set out his intention that his life should come to an end.”
