AN inquest is expected to be opened into the death of a Radcliffe man from a suspected drugs overdose.

A quantity of a drug, which has yet to be identified, together with a syringe were found beside the body of Mr Adrian Leach last Friday (Sept 7).

The 39-year-old was found dead in his bed by his mother at their family home in Knowles Street, Radcliffe.

Mr Geoff Cave, Bury's coroners officer, said: "An inquest will be opened once the toxicology test results have been returned."
