The toxicology report for Prince Abdullah bin Fahad bin Abdullah bin Abdulaziz bin Jalawi al Saud reveals that the 29-year-old royal had alcohol levels nearly three times the legal driving limit, alongside recreational drugs GHB, cannabis, and Xanax in his system when he died at a London hotel, according to The Telegraph UK.
Investigation Findings and Toxicology Results
Prince Abdullah died from heart failure following a high consumption of alcohol and drugs, as detailed during an examination at the Inner West London Coroner’s Court reported by The Telegraph UK. A hotel cleaner found his body on November 25, 2025, lying fully clothed on the bathroom floor of his room at the Marriott Hotel in Kensington, West London, where rooms cost approximately 600 euros per night.
Postmortem analysis revealed the prince’s blood ethanol level reached 222 milligrams per 100 milliliters of blood. For context, the UK legal driving limit stands at 80 milligrams. Alongside the alcohol, toxicology reports showed potentially fatal levels of gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB), traces of cannabis, and the anti-anxiety medication alprazolam, commonly known as Xanax. Police investigations and CCTV footage confirmed the prince was alone on the night before his death, and officials assessed he held no risk of suicide with no third-party involvement.
