Keith Flint inquest: 'Not enough evidence' to say death was suicide

A coroner has said that while The Prodigy star died by hanging, "we will never quite know what was going on in his mind".

Keith Flint died by hanging and had cocaine, alcohol and codeine in his system at the time, an inquest has heard.

However, the coroner said there was not enough evidence to conclude The Prodigy star's death was suicide.

Flint, 49, was found hanging at his home in North End, Essex, on 4 March.

In a short inquest hearing on Wednesday, Essex Senior Coroner Caroline Beasley-Murray said she had considered his death might have been suicide but recorded an open conclusion, saying that "we will never quite know what was going on in his mind".

In her summary, she said: "To record [suicide], I would have to have found that, on the balance of probabilities, Mr Flint formed the idea and took a deliberate action knowing it would result in his death.
