Drug cop died of heroin overdose
Police anti-drugs officer killed by heroin overdose
PC David Pilling was known for his work tackling traffickers on Camden's busy shopping streets
A police officer known for his work tackling drug dealers was found dead at his home from a heroin overdose.
PC David Pilling, 47, was found by colleagues collapsed in the lounge of his flat in north London.
They discovered traces of heroin and various items of drug paraphernalia, including a Stanley knife and a syringe, beside him. An inquiry was launched and toxicology tests revealed the officer had died from a huge overdose of heroin.
Detectives found no suspicious circumstances and the case was handed to a coroner. A Metropolitan police spokesman said a verdict of death by misadventure was recorded earlier this week.
From heroin to zeroin less than 50 years...
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.
