A 49-year-old with a heart condition died at her home in a city tower block after taking illegal drugs, a court has heard. 

The body of Cilla Leggett was discovered inside her flat in Compass Tower, off Munnings Road, in Heartsease on January 24. 

It was after concerns for her welfare were raised with Norfolk police. 

An inquest into her death was opened at Norfolk Coroner’s Court, based at County Hall in Norwich, on June 12.

It heard that she was born on February 22, 1974, in the city and was unemployed at the time of her death. 

The medical cause of her passing was given as “cocaine toxicity”. She also had left ventricular hypertrophy and bronchopneumonia, asthma, and a fatty liver. 

A full inquest to establish the official cause of death will take place on September 6.
