A catholic priest took his own life four days after police told him they were investigating an historic allegation made against him, an inquest heard.
Canon Michael McCoy, who was a priest at St Mary's Cathedral in Newcastle, was visited by officers on April 6 last year.
They told him that a "non-recent allegation" had been made against him and the case was to be investigated. At that stage, the complainant was yet to provide a full account to Northumbria Police.
