A 'wonderful dad' was found dead in a pond in his back garden, an inquest heard.
A coroner found that Colin Parr accidentally drowned in the koi carp pond at his home on Whickham Close in Widnes in Cheshire. The inquest heard how his wife Sharon found him lifeless submerged in the water with his foot tangled in a mesh web covering, the Liverpool Echo reports.
Scratch marks showed where he had struggled to pull himself out. The night before his body was found on Saturday, January 29, the 60-year-old had been 'pottering' about and relaxing in his garden as he usually would.
