A 25-year-old accountant's death remains unexplained following an inquest. Connor Aherne was found dead on March 15 last year at his home in Caerphilly county with no drugs in his system or recent health problems.
Gwent Coroners' Court heard Mr Aherne lived with flatmate Kirsty Owen in Woodview Terrace in Crumlin. Coroner Caroline Saunders said Mr Aherne went to bed at around 10pm on March 14. The following morning his alarm tone could be heard by Ms Owen and sounded for some time, which prompted her to ring Mr Aherne. He did not answer but the alarm then stopped, which led Ms Owen to believe he had turned it off.
The alarm went off again at around 8am and Ms Owen opened Mr Aherne's door to find him unresponsive. She called paramedics who found Mr Aherne could not be revived. His death was confirmed at 8.20am. Police found no evidence of third-party involvement or suspicious circumstances.
