By Mike Dawes PUBLISHED: 06:15 EST, 26 February 2013 | UPDATED: 12:15 EST, 26 February 2013 A forensic pathologist has told the inquest into the death of Tom Maynard that a number of illicit drugs were discovered in the former Surrey batsman's hair and that he had regularly been using cocaine and MDMA. A jury returned a verdict of death by accident at the inquest today. Maynard, 23, was found dead on the railway line at Wimbledon, south-west London, on the morning of June 18 last year after fleeing police who had tried to get him to pull over in the nearby Wimbledon Park area while he was driving his Mercedes.
