A coroner has expressed his sadness at presiding over another drugs related death inquest in his area.
A documentary inquest hearing was held yesterday (May 22) into the death of 29-year-old Benjamin Wood. Mr Wood lived in Horwich and struggled with drug addiction since his teenage years, Bolton Coroners' Court heard.
He received support from his family but remained an addict, coroner Alan Walsh said. In the days leading up to December 22 last year Mr Wood stayed at his brother's house in Horwich, the hearing heard.
