Tom Noakes was one of four siblings from Eccles in Salford, who had come out to his family at the age of 19.
He had messaged his mother, Angela Noakes, at around midnight to say he was heading home.
Instead, he checked into room 130 of the Britannia Hotel in Portland Street in the city with 21-year-old Hayden Fitzpatrick.
Who was Hayden Fitzpatrick?
She told a coroner’s court her son had described Mr Fitzpatrick as “very clingy, liked attention and didn’t like to be told no”.
They had purchased a large bottle of Prosecco, and phone records obtained by the police revealed the pair had contacted a drug dealer to obtain cocaine.

Detective Inspector Andy Butterworth told an inquest into Mr Noakes’ death, “there were text messages and access to an app called Grindr”.
“Andreas” went to room 130 and stayed until 4.26am.
Police were unable to access the content of Mr Fitzpatrick’s iPhone as it was encrypted, the court heard.
At 5.30am, police found the body of Mr Fitzpatrick on the pavement outside the hotel.

A keycard in his pocket led officers to room 130, where they found Mr Noakes seated on a chair, unresponsive with significant head injuries. Paramedics were called, but he was declared dead at 6.22am.
Det Insp Butterworth told the hearing police had no doubt the prosecco bottle was used to bludgeon Mr Noakes to death.
Police were unable to establish a motive for the killing, but Det Insp Butterworth said if Mr Fitzpatrick had survived he would “definitely” have been charged with murder.
He told the court that at some time between 4.45am and 5.30am on 26 September 2018, Mr Fitzpatrick launched “what can only be described as a callous and frenzied and seemingly unprovoked assault” on Mr Noakes.
Speaking after the inquest, Mr Noakes’ family described him as a “funny, caring, honest and compassionate” man whose death had left “a gaping hole in our hearts and our lives will never be the same again”.
