A dad with a 'heart of gold' was found dead in bed with his girlfriend after taking a cocktail of drugs, an inquest has heard. James Acton, 41, and Zoe Hamilton, 28, were discovered together in the bedroom of her home in Failsworth on December 28.
The body of a third person, Andrew Smith, 39, was also found in the same room. An inquest at Rochdale Coroners Court today (Monday) heard that Mr Acton's daughter had phoned police several times to raise concerns for his welfare.
The hearing was told that Mr Acton and Ms Hamilton's relationship had been a 'tumultuous' one and that a report of assault had been made against Mr Acton following a domestic incident on December 23.
