An inquest has been unable to determine the exact cause of death of an accountancy student.

Jeremiah Koleosho, 22, who attended Christ Church University, collapsed in the bathroom of his digs in Brymore Road.

House mates alerted the emergency services after hearing Mr Koleosho apparently having a fit, which they had experienced before.

A paramedic had to force his way through the locked bathroom door and found him unresponsive on the floor.

The hearing in Canterbury today was told that Mr Koleosho was lying in such an awkward position that medics had to move him with the help of the firefighters onto a stretcher and into the front garden where he could receive full CPR.

But he could not be revived and was declared dead at the scene.

It happened on November 26 last year and Mr Koleosho was known to have had previous fits but missed hospital appointments for further investigations

Pathologist Dr Matthias Kolowski told assistant coroner James Dillion the post mortem included specialist tests on his heart and brain.

He said they did not show any reason for a seizure being triggered or evidence of one.

But he added that seizures can be caused a variety of factors, including arrhythmia, and lead to cardiac arrest.

However, the lack of post-mortem evidence, he concluded, meant he still had to record the death as unascertained.

The incident initially prompted a significant police response and treated as suspicious because the address was previously known to officers for gangs and drug activity.

Officers were also concerned that Mr Koleosho's house mates were reluctant to talk to them about what happened.

But acting Sgt James Hutchinson told the coroner that extensive inquiries ruled out any criminal activity or third party involvement in Mr Koleosho's death.

There was also no suggestion that Mr Koleosho was involved in crime and toxicology tests showed he had no alcohol or drugs in his body.

Mr Dillon told Mr Koleosho's family, who came to the hearing from London, that he was satisfied there was nothing suspicious about his death.

Recording an open conclusion, he added: "This was an unidentifiable episode and unfortunately I can't give you answers."
