BAILEY RAE BELIEVES HUSBAND'S DEATH WAS AFTER COCAINE BINGE

LATEST: British soul star CORINNE BAILEY RAE is convinced her musician husband JASON RAE died from a heart attack after suffering an adverse reaction to cocaine.

The body of the 31-year-old saxophonist was discovered in a Leeds, England flat last Saturday (22Mar08).

A post-mortem examination carried out on Rae's body on Saturday night proved inconclusive, but a preliminary pathologist's report suggested his death was as a result of drugs.

Grammy winner Bailey Rae believes the drug-taking was a one-off for her husband of seven years, on a night which ended in tragedy.

A close pal tells U.K. newspaper the Sunday Mirror, "Corinne is sure Jason had been living a clean life. He did not have a drug habit.

"But he went on a night out which she thinks ended with him taking coke at the flat. It seems he took too much and had a heart attack. Jason liked to party, but he was no junkie."

An inquest into Rae's death, which began last week (begs24Mar08), has been adjourned and will commence once the results of further toxicology tests are available.
