A King's College student who had taken drugs and alcohol on the night of his school ball took his own life after being told he was at risk of being expelled, a coroner's report says. David Gaynor, 17, died after jumping from the motorway overbridge at Greenlane in Auckland on June 11 last year. Chief Coroner Neil MacLean said toxicology reports showed David was well over the drink driving limit and had taken the Class C "party drug" 4-MEC and possibly also cannabis.
