An eight-year-old girl has paid tribute to her 'amazing and loving' dad who died after taking laughing gas with a friend. Mr Houghton told the inquest his pal had started taking the gas around 18 months ago. “You can only buy one nitrous oxide cylinder at a time,” Mr Houghton said. Mr Houghton later said it was a day he would remember ‘for the rest of my life’ and during the two weeks before he died Mr Brannelly ‘wasn’t himself’. At one point during the hearing Mr Brannelly’s dad, Mark, spoke angrily to Mr Houghton who he accused of being ‘off his head’ on the day his son died.
