An inquest into the death of a 27-year-old man left unanswered questions as a coroner could not be clear he intended to bring his life to an end. Police were contacted by East Midlands Ambulance Service on July 16 last year after Toby James Patten was not breathing in Hawkridge Gardens, Beacon Hill Rise, St Ann's.
Witnesses had noticed him as they passed in a taxi and stopped and went to him, beckoning the help of a cyclist, a Nottingham Council House inquest heard on Friday (June 2).
A fence post was broken to release a ligature to the floor from his man bag. One of the taxi passengers performed CPR.
