More than £13,000 has been raised for a memorial stone for a Harrietsham record label manager who died unexpectedly.

Callum Davis, 27, who lived in Southfields Way, was found unresponsive by police, lying on his bedroom floor on December 29.

Details of the tragedy were given at an inquest at County Hall last Thursday.

Area coroner for Mid Kent and Medway, Bina Patel, heard from a pathologist who said the cause was “sudden adult death”.

Mr Davis is understood to have worked for record label Love & Other.

Since his death, friends have contributed more than £13,000 to a GoFundMe campaign to help raise money for a commemorative headstone for him.

The fundraiser’s organiser said: “We have been totally overwhelmed by all the donations and this has alleviated a huge burden.

“Your contributions will enable us to provide Cal with a beautiful memorial in the Rose Garden, at Randall’s, Leatherhead.

“A peaceful place to visit him and have a chat. We will never forget this incredible gesture from you all.”

Donations also helped fund his funeral and wake.

Harriet Guildford, Callum’s girlfriend, paid tribute to him on Facebook.

She said: “I have sometimes questioned the need for posts like this, but now I understand.

“I have the urge to scream it from the rooftops, to share the pain and love with everyone around me. Callum was everything to me since I was 18 years old.

“He was a beautiful, talented, funny, kind soul. My best friend, my love and the only one who truly understands me.

“You have left a gaping hole in so many people’s lives and there will forever be a part of me missing.”

Mr Davis had Covid-19 at the time of his death, but it is not thought this directly related to his death.

The inquest has been adjourned to resume on Thursday, May 26, at County Hall.
