A Saudi Prince was found dead in a London hotel after consuming alcohol and several drugs, according to evidence presented during an inquest. The case has drawn attention after toxicology reports revealed the substances found in his body.
The Saudi Prince, Prince Abdullah bin Fahad bin Abdullah bin Abdulaziz bin Jalawi Al Saud, was 29 years old. He was discovered dead in the bathroom of his room at the Marriott Hotel in Kensington, west London, on November 25, 2025.
According to the court, the prince had checked into the hotel on November 19 for a one-week stay. Security footage showed him leaving the hotel on the evening before his death to smoke a cigarette. That was the last confirmed sighting of him.
The following day, a hotel cleaner entered the locked room after receiving no response. The Saudi Prince was found fully clothed on the bathroom floor. Hotel security staff and emergency medical teams tried to revive him, but he was pronounced dead at the scene.
The Inner West London Coroner’s Court later heard the findings of the toxicology examination. Tests showed that the prince had 222 milligrams of alcohol per 100 milliliters of blood. This level was almost three times the legal drink-driving limit in the United Kingdom.
Medical experts told the court that such a high alcohol level falls within a range that can lead to unconsciousness or even a coma.
The toxicology report also detected potentially fatal levels of Gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB), a substance commonly known as a party drug. In addition, traces of cannabis, alprazolam, which is sold under the brand name Xanax, and other anti-anxiety medications were found.
During the hearing, it was revealed that the prince had experienced problems with alcohol and Xanax use before his death. Evidence presented to the court showed that he had previously sought professional treatment.
In August 2025, around three months before his death, he was admitted to the Priory Clinic in Roehampton, southwest London. He underwent a detoxification program for alcohol, benzodiazepines, and the anti-anxiety medicine pregabalin.
A consultant psychiatrist who treated the prince told the court that he had responded positively to the treatment. The psychiatrist said the detox program was completed successfully and that no physical side effects were reported during his stay.
The inquest focused on the medical evidence surrounding the death. The court reviewed the toxicology findings, treatment history, and the circumstances leading up to the incident.
The case highlights the dangers linked to the combined use of alcohol and multiple drugs. However, the inquest proceedings were aimed at determining the circumstances of the death rather than assigning criminal responsibility.
