Dr Nazim Mahmood, fell four storeys to his death from the balcony of his £700,000 flat in a mansion block in West Hampstead, London, in July.
An inquest at St Pancras Coroners' Court heard Dr Mahmood had told his mother he was gay and was in a 13-year relationship with his fiancée, Matthew Ogston, just days before his death.
The court heard Dr Mahmood had kept his sexuality secret from his Muslim family in Birmingham, fearing they would refuse to accept it on religious and cultural grounds.
But having returned to the family home to celebrate Eid, the 34-year-old revealed his sexuality after his mother asked him if he was gay, the court heard.
Mr Ogston, who lived at the penthouse flat with Dr Mahmood, told the inquest yesterday: "She had suggested to him he needed to see a psychiatrist to see if he could be cured. Together I think they agreed they would get through it.
"Telling someone they needed to be cured would not be the easiest thing to take."The court heard that Dr Mahmood, who
had never suffered from depression or any other mental illness, had taken drugs mephedrone and ketamine shortly before his death.
