AN inquest into the death of a Matchborough East man has been opened and adjourned pending toxicology reports.

David Henderson, who was married but lived alone at Chiltern House, was found dead on February 20. He had last been seen four days before.

Worcestershire Coroner Victor Round said no cause of death had been ascertained.

He said Mr Henderson, who was 54, was known to have some history of mental illness.

A worried neighbour called police to Chiltern House where they found him dead.

Mr Round said samples had been sent off to check for traces of medical drugs and adjourned the inquest until a date to be decided.
