A MISSING man was found dead inside his car, Cheshire Coroner’s Court heard.

On Wednesday, an inquest was formally opened into the death of Colin Jones, 47.

Mr Jones, from Cuddington, was reported missing prior to being found dead inside his car on Heath Lane in Tarporley on September 21.

Due to his death being one of an unnatural cause, senior coroner for Cheshire Jacqueline Devonish said an inquest was required.

A inquest date was set for April next year.
