A man who had been struggling with depression and alcoholism was found dead by police after his family raised the alarm, an inquest heard.
Anthony Yeo, 42, was found in his home on Cottam Street in Chorley on February 8 by police who responded to concern for welfare.
His family told police that they had not heard from him for several days and his mother Susan Yeo said she was worried about him because of he struggled with alcohol dependency and depression.
Police said there was no evidence of suspicious circumstances or third party involvement in his death.
Dr Jacob Joseph concluded that Mr Yeo's death was from hanging and a toxicology report showed that he was 'potentially fatally intoxicated' at the time of his death and that if no other cause of death was found then it could have been as a result of this.
