An inquest has heard that Corinne Bailey Rae’s husband Jason died from a suspected drug overdose.
Jason Rae who was the saxophonist for the eight-piece funk band The Haggis Horns, was found dead in a flat in the Hyde Park area of Leeds last weekend.
Leeds Coroner’s Court was told that a pathologist had formed the “preliminary conclusion” that the fatality was caused by a drug overdose.
An initial post-mortem was inconclusive and West Yorkshire Police are now waiting for results from a toxicology test.
The inquest was adjourned and Rae’s body was released to his family for burial
Our thoughts are with his Family and friends at this time.
