Heartbreaking news from Barry: 28-year-old Ryan John Steven Morgan tragically passed away following a binge of cocaine and alcohol, an inquest has revealed. Found at his home in 2024, Ryan had been battling psychosis and struggled with substance misuse.
The coroner shared that while Ryan was involved in an altercation days before his death, it wasn’t related to any injuries. Instead, his passing was attributed to a cardiac arrhythmia, most likely triggered by his drug use and a fatty liver. For those who might not know, cardiac arrhythmia happens when the heart doesn’t beat at a regular pace.
