Mr Contardi’s inquest has been held at Wakefield Coroner’s Court.

Recording a conclusion of suicide, coroner Jonathan Leach said Mr Contardi died of head injuries at Leeds General Infirmary ‘due to exiting the window’ of a hotel room and ‘falling to the street below’.

After Mr Contardi died, his family said: “His kind, caring, smart, happy, humorous and charismatic nature will be truly missed by his family, girlfriend, friends, colleagues, patients and acquaintances.”

Mr Contardi attended St Mary’s Catholic High School in Chesterfield.

In 2016, he graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in podiatry from Huddersfield University, where he was studying for a masters degree in podiatric surgery with aspirations to pursue a career as a podiatric surgeon. Since graduating he worked as a specialist podiatrist with Derbyshire Community Health Services NHS Trust.

Mr Contardi enjoyed spending time with his family, girlfriend, friends and dog Evie.

He also liked holidaying and participating in adventure activities, snowboarding and swimming with sharks with his girlfriend.

He was a keen footballer and Manchester United supporter.
