Fashion designer Alexander McQueen hanged himself after taking a mix of cocaine, tranquilizers and sleeping pills, an inquest has concluded.
He was under huge pressure from work and "overwhelmed with grief" at the loss of his mother, the court heard.
The 40-year-old's body was found at his London flat on February 11 -- the eve of the funeral for his mother, Joyce.
"The balance of his mind was disturbed," said coroner Paul Knapman, recording a suicide verdict.
