An inquest was held into the entrepreneur's death and the coroner ruled he died from cardiac arrest, concluding the cause of death was drug-related.The court heard Jamal was found collapsed with three small snap bags with the remnants of white powder at home in February at his mothers home.An inquest at West London's coroner's court found evidence of cocaine and alcohol in his system.It was also reported there were remnants of MDMA found in his urine, although not in his blood, indicating he had taken it recently but not on the night of his death.Jamal had returned home in February at around 4am after playing a DJ set in North London.He then stayed up drinking with his friend Nick Hopper, who was living in an annex on the Acton property.The inquest heard that the YouTube star had become paranoid, and was behaving erratically, throwing things around the room before he collapsed.Hopper told the inquest, via South West News Service: "When he came in he appeared to be his normal self and it appeared that he had just been out."We began to chat, smoke some weed and drink.

He told me he was under a lot of pressure.There were periods of talking followed by silences."Over time Jamal became quite paranoid and was saying I had things in my hands when I didn’t."Anytime I moved he began panicking.
