An inquest at North London coroner’s court heard that the behaviour of the dog, called Major, could have been triggered by crack cocaine. Mail Online quoted Carmichael as saying: “It is very likely that this dog had consumed drugs, probably eaten them. The BBC crew were at his home filming Drugs Map of Britain when he began having a seizure. The senior coroner, Andrew Walker, concluded that Perivoitos died as a consequence of injuries received from the dog. Mr Perivoitos suffered serious injuries and was taken to a major trauma hospital, and died shortly after midnight.”Walker thanked the BBC crew for their attempts to save Perivoitos.
