Mr Welsby, originally from Warrington and unemployed at the time of his death, was formally identified by his sister.

A post-mortem examination, undertaken by Dr Huyen Abdel Salam, provided a provisional cause of death of bilateral pneumonia, contributed to by fatty liver and history of asthma.

Kate Robertson, assistant coroner for North Wales East and Central, adjourned the inquest to a date to be fixed.
