Distraught mum learnt of son's death when friend texted 'when's the funeral?'

A mum learned the devastating news that her son had died after receiving a text message from his friend while at work, asking "when's the funeral?", an inquest heard.

Emergency services were called to a flat in West Cliff, Preston, on November 1 last year after Robert Lee Wareing was found dead by two of his friends.

He had spent the night before drinking with the two other men but when they tried to wake him the following morning they realised he had died in his sleep, reported LancsLive.
