A MALE model and actor who fell to his death from his top floor flat had been taking drugs, possibly including a legal high, an inquest was told.

Leroy Vanzie, 32, was found naked on the ground next to a wig and a perfume bottle after he fell two-storeys from the living room window of his flat in Corban Street, Dudley Hill, Bradford.

Toxicology tests later revealed he had either taken LSD or 1PLSD, which at the time was a legal high, and he could have been hallucinating

The inquest in Bradford yesterday heard that a neighbour told police he heard raised voices and arguing coming from Mr Vanzie’s flat about 20 minutes before he looked out and saw him on the ground on July 21 last year.

He also said he saw Mr Vanzie’s friend Bradley Smith standing near him. The inquest was told how Mr Vanzie had previously got a police order out against Mr Smith to stop him stalking him.

Police found signs of a disturbance in his flat, including a knocked over plant pot and a moved rug, but all his injuries were compatible a fall and there were none to suggest he had been pushed.

Despite police bringing in expert help to decipher messages recorded on Mr Vanzie’s phone minutes before he fell, it was only possible to ascertain there were two males, possibly a third, and someone was intent on getting a taxi.

The inquest heard on the day of his death, Mr Vanzie had been at his flat with a friend Harry Hamlin, who lodged with Mr Vanzie’s mother Susan Brown.

At about the same time a passing police patrol was flagged down at the scene of the fall, Mr Hamlin turned up at Mrs Brown’s home in an agitated state, shouting: “Sue, Sue, Leroy, Leroy, 999”.

In a statement read to the inquest, Mrs Brown said: “He was going absolutely crazy. He was like something possessed.”

She called police and officers had to taser him four times. At some point her step-daughter rang to say Leroy was laid out on the pavement being resuscitated.

He died before police were able to get her to Leeds General Infirmary.

“All I want is answers but I know I may never get them which makes it even harder. I’m devastated he’s gone. There’s now a gaping hole instead of a shining light,” she said.

In her statement she said she had no idea about her son’s drug taking but she did know Mr Hamlin had drug packages sent to her address, which she only discovered when her dogs ripped them apart.

After that her son had told her to get him out.

A couple of days before Mr Vanzie’s death she said another parcel had arrived which contained a brown powder but she got rid of it, never telling Mr Hamlin that it had arrived.

The hearing continues.
