The man believed to have murdered wife Emma Pattison and their daughter Lettie before killing himself, died of a “shotgun wound to the head”, the inquest into his death heard.
George Pattison, 39, was found dead with Emma, 45, and their seven-year-old daughter at their home in the grounds of Epsom College in Surrey on Sunday February 5.
An inquest into his death has now begun at Surrey Coroner's Court, after Surrey Police confirmed earlier this month that a firearm was found at the scene.
