Darius Campbell Danesh died due to 'inhalation of chloroethane'

Scottish singer Darius Campbell Danesh died from 'inhalation of chloroethane' according to the Southern Minnesota Regional Medical Examiner’s Office.

Glasgow Live previously reported that the singer was found in his US apartment in Minnesota on Monday, August 11, at the age of 41. The death was ruled an accident by the medical examiner, reports the Daily Record.

Autopsy documents obtained by the PA news agency listed “toxic effects of chloroethane” as well as “suffocation” as having contributed to his death.

A statement released by his family previously said local police had found “no signs of intent or suspicious circumstances”.

Chloroethane, commonly known as ethyl chloride, is a colourless, flammable gas or refrigerated liquid with a faintly sweet odor. It used as a solvent, as a refrigerant, and in the production of ethyl cellulose, dyes, medicinal drugs, and other commercial chemicals

Darius was laid to rest in Bearsden just over two weeks ago with Hollywood actor Gerard Butler reportedly joining droves of loved ones who attended the singer's funeral. Mourners gathered at Bearsden Cross Parish Church to pay their respects.

A lone piper played one of Darius' favourite songs, Caledonia, during the procession.
