A 60-year-old Thai businessman died after taking MDMA in the company of a younger woman in a Bromley hotel room, an inquest has heard.

Kee Chung - who was married to another woman - collapsed at the Travelodge in London Road at around 9.30pm on June 27 last year.

Deborah Simmons, 38, had met him in a hotel bedroom an hour-and-a-half earlier.

On Wednesday (June 13) she told Croydon Coroner's Court, when she arrived, Mr Chung "was high" and she "suspected he may have taken some MDMA".

She added, while she was with him, he drank a glass of coca-cola into which he sprinkled MDMA, and a glass of red wine.

Later Mr Chung became very hot and agitated and took a shower, after which he lay down on the bed and became unresponsive, the court heard.

Ms Simmons said: "He was hot. I wanted to cool him down so I put a cold towel on his head. 

"I expected the coldness of the towel to startle him a bit. It didn't.

"I tried to shake him and I was shouting at him and then, there was a bottle of water on the side, I threw the water at him.

"I was shaking him. I pulled him on the floor.

"I looked for my phone and rang the ambulance.

"I kept asking them how to do CPR. As soon as they told me how to do CPR I started doing that until the ambulance came."

Mr Chung, of Manor Road, Chislehurst, was rushed to Lewisham Hospital but was pronounced dead at 10.35pm.

Detective Sergeant Ian Standing, giving evidence, told the court Ms Simmons was arrested on suspicion of manslaughter after a nurse at the hospital contacted police over concerns Mr Chung might have died a few hours before the ambulance was called.

He said: "She was arrested on suspicion of manslaughter and taken into custody.

"She was interviewed and she gave the account that she just gave to the court. Her address and the hotel bedroom were searched. No drugs were found, no drugs paraphernalia were found.

"Toxicology reports found there was no suspicious activity, no evidence to suggest she had supplied him with the MDMA."

Ms Simmons was eventually released without charge.

The court heard toxicity tests showed high levels of MDMA in Mr Chung's system, that have "caused death in previous cases", while there was also evidence of prior use of cocaine - although this is not thought to have played a significant part in his death.

Mr Chung is thought to have used MDMA before, although not regularly.

Coroner Adela Williams said: "It was clear he was a fit, healthy man. There was no evidence of any underlying illness or other condition that could have contributed to his death.

"I am going to record that the cause of death was MDMA toxicity. My conclusion is one of death due to abuse of drugs."
