The sister of a man found dead said she would only ever hear from him "'when he was in hospital or custody".
Paul David Moore, 50, was a long-term heroin user and was being treated with methadone. Born in Southport, he shared a house in Regent Road, Chorley, with Jason Phillips, a friend of 30 years.
Paul was found "slumped in the flower bed" on the evening of February 10 this year. Paramedics were called but Paul was pronounced dead at the scene, despite attempts to resuscitate him.
