Jamal Edwards died after taking recreational drugs, says his mother

The music entrepreneur and YouTube star Jamal Edwards died from arrhythmia because of taking recreational medication, his mother has stated.

Edwards, who helped launch the careers of Dave and Ed Sheeran, died in February aged 31. Brenda Edwards, a singer and Loose Women panellist, said in a statement on Tuesday she was in a “state of shock” after discovering out how he died.

“I have sadly learned that the cause of Jamal’s devastating passing was due to cardiac arrhythmia,” she stated. “[This was] caused by having taken recreational drugs and I wanted to address this myself to everyone who loved, admired and respected my son.

“Since finding out the news I’ve been in a state of shock, and I am still trying to process it. But it’s so important to me that I do address it as no mother or any loved one should have to go through what Jamal’s sister, Tanisha, and I have been through since he passed.”

The 53-year-old launched the assertion on Twitter and Instagram after an inquest into her son’s dying was held at west London coroner’s courtroom.

The coroner, Catherine Wood, stated Jamal Edwards “came home late one evening after work and he became increasingly agitated and suffered a cardiac arrest, and was deteriorating despite treatment”.

She stated after a postmortem she had “reason to suspect the death is an unnatural death”.

Brenda Edwards stated she was “incredibly touched” by the outpouring of affection and help the household had obtained after Jamal’s dying. “You are all helping us try to get through the unimaginable,” she stated.

She described her son as having had the “world at his fingertips – a zest for life and he was unwittingly taken away far too soon”.

“Yet we have to come to terms with what has happened, and Jamal is proof that this can happen to anyone.

“These types of substances are extremely unpredictable, and we can only hope that this will encourage others to think wisely when faced with similar situations in the future. His passing has shown that any one bad decision on any one occasion can lead to devastating consequences.”

She confused the significance of serving to to “drive more conversation” in regards to the unpredictability of recreational medication and their influence – “how it takes just one bad reaction to destroy lives”.

“I would do anything to have my son back but that is just not possible so if I can help save one life, then we will have achieved something,” she stated.

The inquest heard that Jamal Edwards died on 20 February after having a cardiac arrest at his mother’s house in Acton, west London. It was adjourned to be resumed in eight weeks’ time.

He discovered fame after establishing the music platform SBTV in 2006, and was credited with serving to to launch a string of UK music acts to stardom. He was additionally an envoy for the Prince’s Trust, a charity led by the Prince of Wales, and in 2014 was made an MBE for his providers to music.
