An inmate at Bullingdon Prison appeared to have hanged himself, a coroner said.

Krzysztof Woskowiak, 41, from Bicester, was found dead at the prison on May 6.

Opening an inquest into his death on Wednesday, assistant coroner for Oxfordshire Alison Thompson said: “The cause of death is consistent with hanging.”

Because Woskowiak was in the care of the state, the full inquest will be heard by a jury.

It is due to be held on October 6.
