A MAN'S body was thought to have lain decomposing in his home for a month before it was discovered, a coroner heard.
Anthony Heath, 45, had not been seen for more than three weeks by neighbours, who raised the alarm.
When police arrived at his house in Croft Road, Wallingford, officers found his decomposing body in his bed.
Oxfordshire coroner Nicholas Gardiner said there were no suspicious circumstances surrounding Mr Heath's death, which was estimated to have happened on April 22 last year.
He recorded a verdict of death by natural causes.
