A DEESIDE man was found dead at home, an inquest heard.

Aaron Lee Scarlett, 28, was found hanged at his home on Cambrian Close in Connah's Quay on February 17.

On Monday, an inquest was opened into Mr Scarlett's death during a brief hearing at County Hall in Ruthin.

The inquest heard that having failed to show for work the day before, family members attended the address on February 17 whereby they found Mr Scarlett hanged in an apparent act of self-arm.

Post mortem examination gave a provisional cause of death as asphyxiation by hanging.

A full inquest was adjourned to a date yet to be fixed.
