Overview
- Darren Meah-Moore, 39, was discovered on January 22, 2023 in a central Cardiff lane partially covered by flattened cardboard after a night at Pulse nightclub.
- A Pulse cloakroom attendant told the court she saw him walk toward Valentino’s car park with another man, and a separate statement recalled two men entering a nearby lane.
- Pulse manager Sean Rogers found the body, said the cardboard appeared deliberately placed, called emergency services, and performed CPR until paramedics arrived.
- South Wales Police previously arrested a 50-year-old on suspicion of manslaughter and later released him without charge, and the four-day hearing at Pontypridd Coroners’ Court continues.
- Evidence presented at the inquest included testimony about sexual activity and forensic tests noting human and non-human semen, while an original medical note cited sudden death in a man with asthma after alcohol and sexual activity, with no final cause established.
