AN inquest has opened in to the death of a Worcester father who was found dead at a pub in Warndon Villages earlier this month.

Simon Jennings, aged 32, was found hanged in his home above the Lyppard Grange pub in Ankerage Green, on Friday, July 17.

The inquest will take place on August 24.

Police and ambulance crews were called to the pub at 7.30pm but nothing could be done to save Mr Jennings, whose wife, Joanna, manages the pub.
