Inquest: Drag Race UK's The Vivienne Found Dead

An inquest revealed that James Lee Williams, known as The Vivienne and the first winner of RuPaul's Drag Race UK, was found dead in their bathtub at their Cheshire home after being uncontactable for several days. The 32-year-old died from cardiac arrest due to a relatively high level of ketamine, with a toxicologist indicating moderate to excessive use. The coroner ruled the death a misadventure, stating there was no intent of suicide. A neighbor discovered the body after friends raised concerns, and there were no signs of drug use at the scene or suspicious circumstances, according to police. The Vivienne had openly discussed struggles with addiction but was remembered for their bold artistry and community impact. The inquest emphasized that their legacy should not be defined by drug use.
