AN INQUEST has been opened and adjourned on a 30-year-old man found dead at his home.

The hearing, at Burnley Magistrates' Court, was told David Lee Cardwell was found slumped on the floor at Berkeley Street, Brierfield, on October 27.

A pathologist had carried out a post mortem and had given the cause of death as head injuries.

Coroner's Officer Bob Wilson said there was no suggestion of any third party involvement in Mr Cardwell's death.

Further enquiries were being carried out into how Mr Cardwell sustained his injuries but it was believed he may have fallen.
