Thomas Holt was found dead in his cabin last October after he failed to turn up for his shift.

Attempts to resuscitate the 26-year-old were made by the ferry’s nurse, but were unsuccessful, the Plymouth Herald reported.

He was found “lying face down on the sofa” and “unresponsive” by his friend and colleague, Francis-Xavier Kervella.

Police said no drugs were seized from his cabin.
