SHOCK details of George Kay’s death have emerged as it’s revealed that the police watchdog are investigating.
The 39 year old died on Saturday July 6 after “eating a quantity of cocaine” in front of horrified staff at the Holiday Inn in Sutton Weaver, Cheshire.
A source told the Liverpool Echo George had been acting erratically on the Friday night and refused to return to his room – forcing staff to call the cops.
Police officers attended at 9.54pm on July 5 but allegedly left the hotel after George agreed to return to his room.
It’s then claimed staff went to check on George at 10am on Saturday but found him “eating” a large amount of cocaine from his desk.
Sources claim he quickly became unwell and police and ambulance services were called to the scene.

A spokesman from Cheshire Police said: “At 9.54pm on Friday, July 5, police received a report of concern for the safety of a 39-year-old man at a hotel on Wood Lane, Sutton Weaver.
“Officers attended and spoke to the man, as well as hotel staff. All parties agreed that he could remain at the hotel.
“At 10.11am on Saturday, July 6, police received a further report of concern for the man’s safety.
“Due to the information provided the caller was advised to contact North West Ambulance Service for assistance.
“Paramedics attended the hotel and the man was taken to Warrington General Hospital for treatment, where he sadly later died.
“The death is not being treated as suspicious and a file will be prepared for the coroner.
“As with any death following police contact, Cheshire Constabulary has referred the matter to the Independent Office for Police Conduct.”
Kerry was left in shock after her ex-husband died suddenly from a suspected drug overdose.
The 38-year-old looked devastated as she was spotted out and about in East Sussex after being left in utter shock by the tragic news last weekend.
The former rugby league player met Kerry, 39, as teenagers, but started dating in 2012 after bumping into each other in Warrington.
They married in September 2014, five months after she had their daughter Dylan-Jorge, now five years old.
Following the news, a friend told the Mirror: “Kerry is heartbroken, he’s DJ’s dad and she loved him once.
“She can’t bear the thought of explaining to her daughter what has happened.”
Further pain was caused when campaign group Fathers4Justice implied Kerry is responsible for George’s apparent cocaine overdose, claiming she refused him access to their daughter Dylan-Jorge.
Fathers4Justice founder Matt O’Connor tweeted: “Tragic news about the passing of George Kay who came to Fathers4Justice for help.
“He was heartbroken after @KerryKatona7 denied him access to daughter Dylan-Jorge. Katona’s not ‘heartbroken’. She has blood on her hands.”
While Kerry is yet to speak publicly, her daughters, from her marriage to Brian McFadden have spoken out to defend her.
Molly, 17, tweeted: “I suggest take this tweet down.
“How dare you make statements this disgusting at such a vulnerable time, your accusations are inaccurate and extremely insensitive.
“I truly hope you never find yourself in this kind of situation. Vile words from a vile person you should be ashamed.”
While Lily, 16, wrote: “I find your tweets repulsive and insensitive. You must remind yourself he had kids who are at an age that use social media.
“You did not know George like we did and to have the audacity to speak of my mother who put her neck on the line for that man on countless occasions when no decent human would is vile. We’re in mourning and people like you are poisonous.
“Using death for your own gain and to increase your following is disgusting. I’m sending love and light your way as it is clearly needed.”
