A WOMAN was found dead in a Redditch hotel after leaving a note for her boyfriend, an inquest heard.

Karen Gloster, 43, died on April 6 in her room at the Quality Hotel.

Worcestershire Coroner Victor Round said police found the body just after 11am after her boyfriend informed them about the note.

The court heard Mrs Gloster, who was separated from her husband, also left a number of letters for family members.

Blood samples are being tested and the hearing was adjourned to a date to be fixed.
