The wooded area where Lewis was found by the emergency services was off Link Close A man was found on a mattress in a High Wycombe alleyway after taking cocaine and heroin, an inquest has heard. Paramedics desperately tried to save Lewis Hickman, 41, after they were called to a woodland area off Link Close on the evening of September 5 last year. They were called to the scene at 8.41pm by a man who told paramedics Lewis had taken cocaine and heroin and was now unconscious. The unknown man who called 999 helped paramedics as they worked on Lewis, a scaffolder and roofer who was living in the Buckingham Guest House in West Wycombe Road, by holding a torch up for them – but he had disappeared by the time Thames Valley Police got to the scene.
