A WEBHEATH man shot himself in the head at his home after leaving a note for his sister.
Self-employed builder Raymond Philip Melley, 57, was found dead at his Birchfield Road home by police at about 5.30pm on Tuesday, February 22.
An inquest into the death was opened and closed on Friday by Worcestershire Coroner Victor Round, who recorded that Mr Melley had deliberately taken his own life with a legally held shotgun.
His body had been found alongside his house by police, who were alerted by Mr Melley's sister.
The divorcee had left a note for her telling her not to look for him but to contact police.
