Investigators probing the death in Switzerland last week of former Killing Joke bassist Paul Raven from Wolverhampton have ruled out drugs or illegal substances as a contributory cause.

46-year old Raven, comes from Tettenhall, was discovered slumped in a chair on Saturday morning by former Prong drummer Ted Parsons. The pair had been out partying the night before after completing an album with French band Treponem Pal.
