Officials have now revealed the loving dad likely obtained the killer drug by mistake.

Philip likely did not intend to buy fentanyl and could have thought it was something else, police have said.

Fentanyl is 100 times more potent than morphine, and is used by only hardcore drug addicts in the US.

Philip’s tragic death has officially been ruled an accident, according to police and autopsy reports obtained from The Times.

Philip formerly worked as a director of an international IT company in Kent when he booked a family holiday to Florida last year.

The dad of one had been enjoying a drink at his resort’s bar before falling ill and later passing away.

Autopsy and police reports obtained revealed Philip took a taxi, in which officers later found a bag of drugs.

The bag was “packaged as an unknown type of illicit drug”, and contained a powder substance.

Officers believe Philip may have obtained the bag near American Boulevard in Orlando – close to where he was staying with his family.

The blood test conducted after his tragic death revealed fatal levels of fentanyl in his system.

Only two milligrams can prove fatal to those who abuse the potent drug, experts say.

The US DEA has posted about the dangers of the drug, which is thought to have killed almost one million in the United States in the last two decades.

They said: “We must take every opportunity to spread the word to prevent fentanyl-related overdose death and poisonings from claiming scores of American lives every day.”

In a statement, mourning wife Dorlyn said: “On May 23, we woke up late and had no theme parks to attend on that day.

“It was just going to be a relaxing day. We had the best lunch, we drunk champagne like we did when we lived in Dubai.”

The family then went on an “amphibious car ride” and ended their day around 5:30pm, when they went back to their hotel.

Dorlyn then said her husband wanted to have another drink at the Yacht Club hotel at Epcot Resorts Boulevard alone.

Two hours later, she heard a knock at her hotel room door and she was told that her husband had been taken in an ambulance to hospital.

The worried wife asked hotel staff if her husband had suffered from heat stroke or a heart attak.

Sadly, by the time Dorlyn arrived at the hospital, the doctor told her Philip had died at 8:06pm.

The doctors told Mrs Weybourne that her husband had died from a cardiac arrest.
