Multi-millionairess Eva Rausing died as a result of dependant drug abuse, an inquest has ruled.
The 48-year-old's body lay undiscovered for two months before she was found at the £5m west London home she shared with her husband Hans, heir to the Tetra Pak fortune.
She was discovered in a fly-filled room hidden under a pile of bedding with a foil pipe in her hand, Westminster Coroner's Court heard.
Police found the mother-of-four's body in an advanced state of decomposition after they had arrested Mr Rausing on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs on July 9.
He was given two suspended sentences in August after admitting preventing the lawful and decent burial of his wife's body.
Eva Rausing as a teenager A post-mortem found his wife had died on May 7 and had drugs in her system, including cocaine.
Deputy coroner Dr Shirley Radcliffe said Mrs Rausing died as a result of cocaine intoxication contributed to by a heart condition - tricuspid valve disease.
Delivering her verdict, she said: "Mrs Rausing's death was as a result of the dependant abuse of drugs."
The inquest heard that her pacemaker recorded heartbeats up to 384 beats per minute on the calculated day of her death. The normal rate is 65.
Pathologists found no signs of violence on Mrs Rausing's body.
Hans and Eva Rausing on their wedding day An investigating officer told the court how Hans Rausing lied to his housekeepers after his wife died, saying she was in the US.
The couple lived a reclusive life on the second floor of their home. Housemaids were not allowed into certain areas. The hearing was told that staff noticed Hans Rausing had stopped sleeping in his bedroom and had started eating downstairs.
The couple had fought a public battle against addiction to drugs.
In 2008 police launched an investigation after Mrs Rausing was caught with drugs as she tried to enter the US Embassy in London for a function.
Subsequent searches of her car and the couple's Georgian townhouse uncovered huge quantities of class A drugs.
Mr and Mrs Rausing faced drug charges but were given conditional cautions instead, meaning the hearings did not go ahead.
Mr Rausing's parents and siblings said then they were supporting the pair as they fought to overcome drug addiction.
