A man whose body was not discovered for up to six months probably died of natural causes, a coroner has said.

Kevin Lynch was found at his home in Britannia Heights, Banbury, on March 9.

The divorced 52-year-old, who had epilepsy, a heart condition and history of alcoholism, was last seen on November 28 last year.

Oxfordshire Coroner Darren Salter recorded a verdict of natural causes at an inquest at Old County Hall yesterday.
