Michael Butters from Billingham was found by his parents on June 14 last year, unresponsive in his bed. They still have no idea how he died. A post mortem provided no evidence of the cause of the death.
Malcolm Donnelly, Hartlepool senior coroner:
Pathologist Dr Kaushik Dasgupta, said there was also evidence that Michael Butters had adrenal wasting and fibrosis of the heart> This would not have been a cause of concern or attributed to his death.
Michael Butters, a bodybuilder worked as a mobile ice cream seller and did not have a medical history of any concern. Cleveland Police also concluded his death was not suspicious and was treated as unexplained.
There was some suggestions that he used steroids but toxicology tests came back negative.

I can’t say his death was natural or unnatural.
It might be that medical science in 100 years’ time is more advanced to determine this sort of thing but that is no comfort to you.

You knew your son was a bodybuilder
He kept fit and there was some suggestion he used steroids.
This was investigated and a sample was sent to King’s College, London, for analysis - the tests for anabolic steroids came back negative as did the test for other drugs.
It is a comfort to people as to what leads to someone’s death. I am sorry we have not been able to find out in you son’s case.
