A CORONER has opened an inquest into the death of a man who was found at his home in Colchester.
Alan Steele, 48, was pronounced dead by paramedics when he was found at his address in Highwoods on March 1.
However, an inquest heard last week the cause of death for Mr Steele is still unknown after a post-mortem examination and toxicology report.
The nature of Mr Steele’s death was not believed to be suspicious.
A documentary inquest will be heard at a later date.
