A 'brave' and 'inspirational' axe attack survivor was found dead six years after a brutal assault that 'completely changed his life.' Cameron Brooksbank, 24, known by his loved ones as Cam, was tragically pronounced dead after being found unresponsive at an address in Middleton on June 18 of last year.
He was found to have a mix of both prescription drugs and cocaine in his system at the time of his death, but a coroner has concluded he did not intend to take his own life.
Cameron was just 17 when he was attacked in the street in Rochdale in October 2017. An inquest into his death at Rochdale Coroner’s Court today (May 15) heard he was 'devastated' by the attack and 'never' got over it.
