BREAKING NEWS Tragic Hollyoaks star Paul Danan was found dead on sofa with the TV still on, inquest hears
The actor, 46, who played bad boy Sol Patrick from 1997 to 2001 on the Channel 4 soap, died from a cocktail of drugs including cocaine and heroin after he was found unresponsive at home in Brislington, Bristol, on January 15.
A coroner has concluded that his death was misadventure.
The inquest heard that Paul's friends raised the alarm after not hearing from him for two days before he died, so they used a ladder to try and see him through an open window.
A neighbour entered the house where he found Paul dead, sitting slumped at the edge of the sofa with the TV still on.
His body was identified at the scene by his partner, Melissa Crooks.

Woman sexually assaulted on a plane denied compensation because of loophole
A woman who was sexually assaulted on a flight to the UK can't be compensated due to a legal loophole. Kelly – who is using a fake name for anonymity – was attacked on a Qatar Airways flight from Doha, Qatar, to Gatwick in September last year. Momade Jussab, 66, of Feltham, was sitting next to her and put his hands down her trousers. He was arrested at Gatwick and jailed in May. Kelly, who was 24 at the time of the attack, has been denied a payout under the Criminal Injuries Compensation (CIC) scheme. Officials said that because the incident happened on a plane not registered in Britain, Kelly cannot make a claim. Her lawyers have written to the justice secretary, Shabana Mahmood, urging her to close what they believe is a gap in the law. Kelly, a Londoner in her 20s, told the BBC that Jussab pulled a second blanket over them both as she slept. She said: 'His hands were down my trousers and I said to him, 'What are you doing?' I said, 'Stop'. He said, 'No, please'. 'And I had to force his hand out of my trousers and that just made me get up straight away. I left my phone, I left my bag, I left my passport, I left everything. I left my shoes and ran into the toilet, left the door open [and] told the flight attendant.' Kelly said she should be entitled to compensation as the incident was investigated and prosecuted by the British authorities. 'I haven't been out in almost a year – to events or summer parties with my friends. I can't do that. I'm too scared,' she added. 'I don't want to be touched or looked at. So it's never leaving me. It's literally there every single day before I sleep, I'm thinking about what happened.' The CIC scheme provides compensation for people 'physically or mentally injured because of a violent crime in England, Scotland or Wales', according to its website. Kelly applied for the payout in April, only to receive a letter from the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority, which processes applications, denying the claim as it did not happen in a 'relevant place'. Such a 'place' is defined by section 92 of the Civil Aviation Act 1982, which concerns 'British-controlled aircraft'. As the incident happened on a Qatari-registered plane, officials told Kelly, she was ineligible for compensation. Leigh Day says that the law was updated in 1966 to allow crimes that occur on UK-bound foreign aircraft to be prosecuted in British courts. Yet a near-identical loophole in the compensation scheme has not been closed. Solicitor Claire Powell said: 'Our client suffered a horrific sexual attack on a UK-bound flight. 'She was refused compensation under the Criminal Injuries Compensation scheme simply because it was a foreign flight and the rules have not been amended in line with the updates to the Civil Aviation Act. 'It is a gap that needs closing urgently and we trust the Justice Secretary will agree, particularly in light of this Government's commitment to addressing violence against women and girls.' Jussab was jailed for six and a half years as part of an extended sentence in May for one count of sexual assault by penetration and two counts of sexual assault. In-flight sexual assault incidents have been rising for years – in the US, the FBI investigated 27 sexual misconduct cases aboard aircraft in 2018. More Trending By 2022, that number had more than tripled to 90 cases. A Ministry of Justice spokesperson said: 'Our thoughts remain with this victim, and we remain resolute in our mission to halve violence against women and girls in a decade. 'The rules that the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority follows, and the values of payments for injuries, are set by Parliament. 'Other routes are available for victims to receive support.'

Judges trained to protect themselves from violence in court
Judges and magistrates are to get compulsory security training to protect them against rising violence and abuse from members of the public in civil courts. They have been issued with 'essential' training, which must be completed by March next year, to protect them from PVPs, or 'potentially violent people'. The new package is designed not to counter criminals but to protect the judiciary from ordinary members of the public participating in civil courts such as employment tribunals, family and coroner courts. It includes guidance from the HM Courts and Tribunal (HMCTS) on physical security based on five key actions – 'deter, detect, delay, mitigate and respond'. Role play films Judges are also shown a series of shocking 'role play' films where people lose their temper in court. In a tribunal, an employer shouts: 'Call yourself a judge? You're a f---ing disgrace.' In the family court, a swearing man aggressively approaches the judge, before the film freezes. And in a coroner's court, the father of a child who has died by suicide shouts at the judge: 'Just make a f---ing decision. I just want to see my son buried, for Christ's sake.' The training also includes personal testimony from senior judicial figures who have faced dangerous real-life scenarios. District Judge McIlwaine recounts how someone in his court threw water over a barrister and sprayed water around the court before hurling the jug. Judge Barry Clarke, the president of the employment tribunals (England and Wales), recalls one litigant attacked the opposing counsel before chasing the judge down the corridor. Senior coroner Heidi Connor describes how the mother of a child who took their own life smashed the courtroom door before banging her head against the wall threatening to kill herself. She was involved in a second case when there was a 'riot' in the court until someone was found with an 'improvised Taser'. An expert from the College of Policing gives vital tips in each case on how to deal with the escalating tensions while Matthew Braham, the HMCTS security chief, points to measures taken to ensure physical security with emergency plans, panic alarms and experienced court security officers on hand. The guidance states: 'HMCTS operates a holistic, multi-layered approach to physical security, utilising the national protective security authority's 'deter, detect, delay, mitigate, respond' methodology. 'In brief, this refers to the need for multiple 'layers' of security controls, each layer being made up of several individual security controls acting as part of an overall system wherein the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.' Deterrence means creating a 'hard target' so an attacker decided not to act in the first place, detection allows security officers to intervene, while delaying involves introducing barriers and obstacles to slow the progress of an attack. Mitigating an incident reduces its impact and responding brings it to an end. Lord Justice Green, the senior presiding judge, said: 'Judicial security is of the utmost importance. Threats to security come from many sources, which includes litigants, and those associated with them. 'Your ability to do right, by all manner of people, without fear or favour, which is the very essence of your judicial oath and your function, is placed at risk if threats are made which seek to sway you one way or another in the difficult decisions you take on a daily basis. 'This training package focuses upon your safety in court and hearing rooms and is, but one component of a much broader strategy designed to protect the judiciary. The training is intended to assist you, in a practical way, to remain safe whilst you perform your judicial tasks.'
