AN inquest has been opened into the death of a 32-year-old man from Warrington.

Patrick Finn died on April 2 at his home in Great Sankey.

Warrington Coroner’s Court heard how a family member of Mr Finn went into his bedroom and was unable to wake him.

Due to him being unresponsive, paramedics were called.

On Wednesday, the coroner's court, which is located on Museum Street in the town centre, heard how ambulance crews attended and confirmed that Mr Finn was sadly dead.

Due to toxicology results showing an unnatural cause of death, senior coroner for Cheshire Jacqueline Devonish formally opened an inquest.

The hearing will take place in August.
