A MAN whose death prompted a police presence in Jericho was found hanging at his parents' house, a court heard.
Police attended a property in Southmoor Road on Friday, October 26, after a body was found inside.
The man has now been identified as 44-year-old graphic designer Samuel Jones.
At his inquest opening this afternoon, Oxford Coroner's Court heard how he had 'struggled with depression' having recently moved back to his parents' home from Liverpool.
Mr Jones, who was born in Oxford, was identified to police by his mother and was pronounced dead at the scene by a paramedic at 4.04pm.
A full inquest has been scheduled to take at the same court on February 20.
Police previously said his death was not being treated as suspicious.
