Jamal Edwards' mother says he died as a result of 'taking recreational drugs' | ITV News

The mother of music entrepreneur Jamal Edwards has claimed her son died as a result of taking recreational drugs.

Loose Women presenter Brenda Edwards made the announcement that her son died due to “cardiac arrhythmia caused by having taken recreational drugs," on social media on Tuesday after an inquest into his death was held at West London Coroner’s Court.

Her statement also said it is important to “help drive more conversation about the unpredictability of recreational drugs.”

Jamal died in February at the age of 31, after having a heart attack at his mother's address in Acton.
