After moving to Eastbourne, his housing situation was still Brighton & Hove City Council's responsibility but the duty of care fell to authorities in Eastbourne, according to his case worker.

The inquest heard 19% of homeless people are sent out of the city in out of area placements.

Simon Court, a senior lawyer for BHCC, confirmed that Eastbourne is the most common location for homeless people in Brighton and said the national average for councils is 30% for out of area placements.

Mr Ginsberg was a lower priority compared to groups such as families on the list in terms of getting them housing in Brighton, the inquest heard.

Ms King ruled the death as an open conclusion. Open conclusion verdicts are where there is not enough evidence to rule a cause of death.

She did not directly suggest his death was caused as a result of being moved to Eastbourne.

She also determined that the death of Stephen Carr, 38, a former landscaper, was not as a result of staying in Eastbourne.

Mr Carr had been staying with his father in Kingfisher Court in a council estate in Whitehawk, Brighton.

The flat had been infested with bed bugs, so his father Tony Carr was moved to the Ellesmere Hotel in Eastbourne on 21 February. His son, who had a history of drug addiction, joined him after a being released from prison on 4 April.

The city council was aware Mr Carr was in prison but not that he had been released, the inquest heard.

Mr Carr was found by his dad on 27 April slumped over after they had been watching a film in their hotel room. His dad had fallen asleep and found Mr Carr in the slumped in the bathroom.

Fiona King said: "I do not find that the accommodation has affected his death."

She determined that Mr Carr died from a mixture of drugs in his system which led to cardiac arrhythmia but there was not a "fatal intention".
