Inquest opens into death of Port Erin man

Tree surgeon found dead at his home

An inquest into the death of a tree surgeon from Port Erin has been opened and adjourned.

Thirty-one-year-old Adrian Morton was found dead at his home on June 3.

His medical cause of death could not be given at this stage because the results of a toxicology report haven't been returned.

However, the attending police officer, PC Darren Wild, said in a statement there were no signs of injury to Mr Morton's body, but there were prescription drugs and lager in the house.

Coroner of Inquests John Needham passed his condolences to Mr Morton's family and adjourned the inquest to a date to be fixed.
