Millionaire Kuwaiti playboy Sultan Aldabbous, 38, was found dead in a private suite at the Dorchester Hotel, one of London’s favorites for playboys, royalty and business people, on May 1st.
The Dorchester is located in the swanky London district of Mayfair and is regularly used by celebrities including the Kardashians and Kanye West.
According to the Daily Beast, reporting in the results of the inquest into Aldabbous’ death, his body was riddled with cocaine, cannabis, rohypnol and antidepressants which had been taken only a few hours before he died.
Two men were arrested shortly after Aldabbous was found dead but they were released swiftly afterwards.
A mystery bearded man was also seen to enter the hotel with Aldabbous before he died, and he can be seen on CCTV leaving the hotel too.
However, the police have so far not been able to trace this mysterious man.
Detective Constable Cat Bell told the inquest into the death at Westminster coroners court that the bearded man had been seen entering and leaving Aldabbous’ room twice between 16:00 and 17:00, before leaving again at 17:07.
“Shortly after this, the hotel received a phone call from a woman who claimed to be a family friend or member and she asked the staff to check on his welfare,” DC Bell said.
“This came about as he appeared to be unwell,” she said.
“She had received this information from another friend who had been on the phone to him at the time and heard him fall with the phone line going dead,” DC Bell said.
“Drugs were found next to the body. This included cannabis resin and medication such as anti-depressants,” she said.
There was no sign of a struggle and the room was not in disarray, she added.
Coroner William Dolman recorded a verdict of death by misadventure.
