The coroner of inquests says a third death from heroin use in as many months is a 'sad reflection' on the Island.
Michael Moyle was speaking as he opened and adjourned the hearing into the death of 35-year-old Ramsey man Peter Liam Creer.
The body of Mr Creer, from Waterloo Road, was found aboard a boat in the town's arbour on July 30.
He died from a heroin overdose and a high degree of alcohol intoxication.
Adjourning the inquest for further inquiries, Mr Moyle questioned whether enough was being done in the Island to combat heroin use.
