Gruesome detail emerges after famous drag queens’ likely cause of death after dog sex

Three medical specialists testified they could not definitively determine the cause of death for Darren Meah-Moore, who was found in a Cardiff alleyway after a sexual incident involving a dog, despite considering his dog allergy as a potential factor

Three medical experts tasked with investigating the death of a drag queen found dead in an alleyway in a Welsh city center, hidden under cardboard, were unable to conclusively determine his cause of death.

Darren Meah-Moore was found in an alleyway near Windsor Place and Park Lane in downtown Cardiff on Sunday, January 22, 2023. The inquest heard that on that night, he had been with three men, the last encounter involving a disturbing sexual incident with a man’s pet dog.

The inquest also learned that Mr. Meah-Moore had a dog allergy, which could have caused sensitivity and potentially triggered an allergic reaction from being near them. It was disclosed that both human and non-human semen was detected during the examination of Mr. Meah-Moore’s body. A DNA sample from the dog owned by the man who entered the alleyway matched the sample.

On Thursday, February 5, the fourth day of the inquest, testimony and expert analysis were provided by medical professionals, including Dr. Tomaz Garcez, who assessed “risk factors”, including Mr. Meah-Moore’s documented dog allergy, combined with exposure to a dog at that time.

He also mentioned his asthma, hay fever, and eczema, along with alcohol consumption and fatigue, reports the Express US.

However, he stated that he could find no evidence in his research of there ever being a fatal reaction anywhere in the world to “dog seminal fluid”.

“I’m not aware of it ever occurring,” he stated. “The only comment I’d make is if that it was the only remaining plausible hypothesis, it would have to be considered as possible. But in the absence of any prior cases, it is hard to attribute, and we should be confident every other avenue has been excluded.”

Independent consultant forensic pathologist Benjamin Swift gave evidence that there was insufficient clinical information to “definitely say” anaphylaxis caused his death. He observed that trauma and third-party assault had been eliminated, along with any identifiable natural disease or toxicological cause.

Also giving evidence that day was Dr Richard Jones, a forensic pathologist, who explained that when he first took on the case, based on the information available, he investigated it as a potential sexually motivated homicide, until receiving further information regarding the dog’s involvement.

However, when considering whether canine semen could have caused an anaphylactic death during intercourse with the dog, he examined the inflammation found in Mr. Meah-Moore’s lungs, which he linked to his bronchial asthma.

He stated: “I didn’t think post-mortem findings were of such an extent to definitively state he had died of a severe acute asthma attack.”

He went on to clarify that he had looked for any pathological evidence of a systemic reaction consistent with anaphylaxis. “I did not find any local increase in those sorts of inflammatory cells in the body. I don’t have any pathological way of confirming whether anaphylactic shock was or wasn’t operative at the time he died.”

Dr Jones told coroner David Regan that no pathological evidence was found suggesting Mr. Meah-Moore had experienced trauma or been physically restrained. He also stated there was no evidence that the cold weather conditions that night played a role in his death.

On the first day of the inquest, it was revealed that the 39-year-old Newport resident had performed as CC Quinn, Crystal Coutoure, and Dolly Diamond. CCTV footage and eyewitness reports showed he entered the alleyway where his body was later found with a man, whose identity is protected by a court-ordered reporting restriction.

The second day of the proceedings included testimony from this individual. On the third day, it was disclosed that police had reviewed ‘hundreds of hours of CCTV’ documenting Mr. Meah-Moore’s activities that evening. The footage showed he had interacted with two different men earlier in the night, each time briefly leaving the camera’s view before returning.

He ultimately disappeared from sight in an alley after interacting with a third man who was walking his dog. The inquest continues.
