A 57-year-old grandfather who was thought to have been poisoned after drinking 97pc alcohol died at his friend's home.
Mr Edgeller, a former plant operator, welder and fitter who had been unable to work due to back problems, died at the scene at the property in Weeting.
He had been drinking with Paul Johnson, known locally as "Jono Fubar" who owns the bungalow in Weeting, near Thetford in Norfolk, where the tragedy took place on March 3, 2023.
Mr Johnson was taken to West Suffolk Hospital in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, where he was treated for two nights.

But Mr Edgeller was pronounced dead at the scene.
'Further enquiries' led to the arrests of two men on suspicion of poisoning.
Norfolk police have said both men were released without charge and no further action was taken as all lines of enquiry have been exhausted pending any new information.

Mr Johnson's home was cordoned off for a time after the incident as white-suited forensic officers searched for evidence.
An inquest opening into the cause of Mr Edgeller's death, held by area coroner Yyvonne Blake on July 31, heard the medical cause of death was given as alcohol and duloxetine toxicity and obstructive sleep apnoea.
The inquest heard Mr Edgeller's partner Sharon Willoughby had provided a formal identification statement to police officers.

It is not known if the ethanol was distilled or brewed as a high-strength homemade 'moonshine' or bought ready-made.

High-strength ethanol is easily available to buy online at sites including Amazon and eBay for industrial or chemical use, priced at around £10 per litre.
A full inquest into Mr Edgeller's death will be held later this year.
His funeral was held at the St Edmund's Chapel at West Suffolk Crematorium in April.
