A sporty student who's been described as ''fiercely intelligent'' has passed away from a heroin overdose in his university accommodation after he tried hard to get himself clean from drugs in the weeks leading up to his death, an inquest heard. Dylan Causero, 24, from Tonyrefail was tragically found dead by his mum, Nicola, in his room at Liberty Severn Points hall in Cathays on December 18, 2021.
The student who was in his final year at Cardiff Metropolitan University studying Biomedical Sciences with Health, Exercise and Nutrition was ''in a really good place'' and had steered clear from drugs in the weeks before he died. His mother said she was ''over the moon'' with his progress as he had been experimenting with drugs from a very young age, Pontpridd Coroner's Court heard on Wednesday.
She revealed that his lengthy history with drug misuse dates back to when he was in his mid teens as she revealed he starting taking cannabis at just 15 or 16 years old, Wales Online reports. This then developed into Dylan taking ketamine, MDMA, cocaine, opioids, prescription drugs and IV heroin which he started using in the last six months of his life.
