An inquest has heard an unknown person likely has more information about how a father was found dead near a canal, but did not directly contribute to his death. After his ex-partner reported him missing, Robert Chatwin, of Regent Street, Long Eaton, was found deceased in marshland between the River Erewash and a canal in Long Eaton.
Mr Chatwin was reported missing on April 5, 2019, after he uncharacteristically left one of his daughters unattended at home. His two daughters described him as "adored". The 37-year-old labourer had never done anything like this in the past, which left Mr Chatwin's ex-partner and mother shocked, reports Derbyshire Live.
Mr Chatwin was last seen walking along the canal path in Long Eaton by an acquaintance. CCTV supported this, showing Mr Chatwin, who was unsteady on his feet at the time, walking in the direction of the canal.
