The court heard how Mr Sutter's behaviour became "strange" after he had taken hallucinogenic drugs on the night of January 8, 2020.
Court documents reveal that it appeared that Mr Sutter, who at the time of his death had been living in New York but visiting Reading, had taken himself into the stairwell of the building before opening a window and climbing onto the ledge.
