BRITISH fashion designer Alexander McQueen hanged himself after taking a mixture of cocaine, tranquilizers and sleeping pills, the inquest into his death concluded.
According to the BBC, the London inquest was told that the world famous designer was under pressure from work and was "overwhelmed with grief" at the death of his mother Joyce.
The 40-year-old's body was found in his London residence on February 11, the eve of his mother's funeral.
"The balance of his mind was disturbed," the BBC quoted coroner Paul Knapman as saying. He recorded a suicide verdict.
A joint statement from the Gucci Group, which is owned by French luxury conglomerate PPR, and the Alexander McQueen company said: "Today is a difficult day for all of those who knew and worked with Lee as we come to terms with the manner of his tragic and untimely death."
