A man who had been addicted to heroin for more than half his life died after taking too much prescribed medication.
Marcus Rosthorn was found dead at home in Roebuck Close, Blackburn, on August 20 by a member of staff from Sanctuary Housing - the association that managed his supported accommodation.
An inquest in Accrington Town Hall heard how the 44-year-old, who had started using heroin when he was just 17, had been referred to Inspire, a drug rehabilitation service in Blackburn in 2015.
Coroner Mark Williams told the hearing: "A toxicology report noted that Marcus had methadone in his system in the range encountered in fatalities as well as tramadol, mirtazipine, olanzapine and diazepam. A medical cause of death was offered as multi-drug toxicity."
