A British IT exec died from a fentanyl overdose during a trip to Disney World in Florida with his wife and young son, a UK court has heard.
Philip Weybourne, the 40-year-old Middle East director of Excis Compliance Limited, died on just the third day of his family vacation in May, a hearing into the cause of his death was told.
He went out drinking alone after what his wife, Dorlyn, described as “a relaxing day” drinking champagne during “the best lunch,” according to the Times of London on Sunday.
Just two hours after Weybourne went to a bar in Disney’s Yacht Club that night, someone came to his family’s hotel room to tell them he’d been raced to a hospital in Celebration.
“I asked them if it was heat stroke or a heart attack,” his wife told the Kent court in a statement, the UK paper said.
Weybourne was already dead by the time his wife made it to the hospital, and doctors initially said he died of cardiac arrest.
However, a post-mortem examination showed he’d actually had fatal levels of fentanyl in his system.
“This must have been very difficult and distressing for Mr. Weybourne’s family,” assistant coroner Catherine Wood told the hearing.
“I don’t know the circumstances that led up to his death as Mr. Weybourne died in another country,” the official said.
However, Weybourne “had no underlying health issues and I am content, after the findings of the autopsy, that his death was caused by fatal levels of fentanyl.”

The synthetic opioid is up to 50 times stronger than heroin, and a dose of only 2 milligrams — the size of two grains of rice — can prove fatal.

What’s America coming to? If you can’t trust drug-dealers in the Magic Kingdom, who can you trust?
are they sure a police officer wasnt kneeling on his neck?
that can happen when you take too much fentanyl
What, no cop holding him down with a knee on his neck while he violently spasmed from his Fentanyl overdose?
I guess we won't have any cities burning then.
Possible that he ingested it without knowing? This is often talked about by police when they are searching cars...
Was he a former associate of the Clintons?
“Possible that he ingested it without knowing?”
It will be interesting to hear how he spent his final hours, and especially where the ambulance picked him up.
His wine was spiked. Bet on it.

That’s my guess.
Watch out for Minnie. You spurn her, she’s got a dark side.
Except now he’s president.
do a tox his hair and see if he has a history of drugs...
Substances like that can be left behind on counter tops etc. and kill you if you absent-mindedly sweep it off with your hands or ingest them unknowingly. Dangerous stuff. Bad way to go as well.
So someone poisoned him?
Would open borders help stop that?
