Inquest into Keith Flint’s death returns open verdict

Simone Joyner/Getty ImagesAn inquest into the death of The Prodigy frontman Keith Flint has returned an open verdict.

According to the BBC, Senior Coroner for Essex Caroline Beasley-Murray determined that the inquest did not find enough evidence to definitively call Flint's death a suicide.

"We will never quite know what was going on in his mind on that date," Beasley-Murry said.

"I've considered suicide," she continued. "To record that, I would have to have found that, on the balance of probabilities, Mr. Flint formed the idea and took a deliberate action knowing it would result in his death. Having regard to all the circumstances I don't find that there's enough evidence for that."

The BBC also reports that Flint's system consisted of unspecified amounts of alcohol, cocaine and codeine at the time of his death.

Flint died March 4 at age 49. His cause of death had previously been ruled as a result of hanging.
