The inquest for Nick Cave's son Arthur has heard of the tragic circumstances surrounding the teenager's death. 

The 15-year-old died when he fell from a cliff in Brighton back in July. It was later revealed that he died from 'multiple traumatic injuries'

Now, an inquest at Brighton Coroners court today revealed that he suffered a fractured skull, broken legs and bleeding on the brain before his body was found on an underpass in Ovingdean Gap - adding that he had taken LSD beforehand. 

Nick Cave and wife Susie Bick were not in attendance the the hearing. Speaking at the time of Arthur's death, they said: "Our son Arthur died on Tuesday evening. He was our beautiful, happy loving boy. We ask that we be given the privacy our family needs to grieve at this difficult time."

Arthur's death is not being treated as suspicious. The inquest continues.
