The star, who was 46 when he died, was found unresponsive in his Bristol home on 16 January. Danan starred as Sol Patrick in the Channel 4 soap from 1997 until 2001.
The inquest heard how Paul's primary cause of death was a "combined toxicity" of drugs, including heroin, methadone and cocaine.

An inquest into Dananâs death was opened and adjourned before Maria Voisin, senior coroner for Avon, at Avon Coronerâs Court on Tuesday morning.
Coronerâs officer Alexis Camp told the hearing that Danan was pronounced dead at his home in Brislington, Bristol, at 5.20pm on January 15.
His body was identified at the scene by his partner, Melissa Crooks.
Ms Camp said: âThe circumstances are that Mr Danan was found unresponsive at his home address.
âEmergency services attended and confirmed he had sadly died. A post-mortem has taken place and samples have been removed for further analysis.â

He was also accused of driving whilst under the influence of drugs on October 2 last year, in Warrington, Cheshire.
Danan had been open about his struggles with addiction, with entering rehab and trying to recover.
The initial news of his death was announced by his management team, Independent Creative PR, leading to an outpouring of tributes from celebrities and fans alike.
âIt is with heavy hearts that we share the tragic news of the passing of Paul Danan at just 46 years old. Known for his television presence, exceptional talent, and unwavering kindness, Paul was a beacon of light to so many.
âHis untimely departure will leave irreplaceable voids in the lives of all who knew him. During this difficult time, we kindly request respect and privacy for Paulâs family, friends, and colleagues. No further comments will be made at this time.â
