A teenager tragically died due to an asthma attack while at a friend's house, an inquest has heard.

Cameron Kevill, 19, from Horwich, died in the early hours of May 16 on Singleton Avenue.

At Bolton Coroner's Court this week an inquest has heard Cameron, from Hughes Avenue, had an asthma attack while at a friend's house on the Xbox.

Anthony Kevill, his father, and the ambulance service attended following a call from friend Jordan Longworth but by the time they attended he was unresponsive.

Mr Kevill said: "Cameron was a typical teenager. We were close and he liked to be with his family and his friends. 

"He was about to be an uncle in a few weeks, he is loved and he is missed by all of his family and his friends."

Cameron had an inhaler but it was not with him so he took an inhaler from his friend's house and, later, he took two beta blocker tablets from his friend's house.

His GP, Dr Rashmnita Malhotra, as well as pathologist Dr Ravindra Sawant, said the inhaler and the two beta blocker tablets cancelled out or "contraindicated".

Dr Sawant, from Royal Bolton Hospital, said: "They cause constriction of the airways and this is why they are contraindicative."

The assistant coroner Michael Pemberton came to the conclusion the two tablets were not a cause of the death although they were one contributor to the death.

Mr Pemberton said it is important to take what is prescribed, and only what is prescribed, something the tragic teenager struggled to do due to suspected ADHD.

Mr Pemberton said: "This was something with which he was coming to terms. He was a young man and he was not aware of the severity."

Mr Kevill said: "Neither were we. I never thought the asthma would kill him but the asthma did kill him."

A GoFundMe for the family is on more than £3,000.
