The family and friends of a 19-year-old man do not know why he hanged himself with a dressing gown cord, an inquest in Oxford heard yesterday.

Ian Yeomans was found dead in his locked bedroom at his parents' home in Morrell Close, Kidlington, on May 31.

A 999 call had been made from his mobile just after midnight. There was no note. His mother, Angela, said: "He had just started a new job that he was enjoying and everything seemed to be going well."

Deputy coroner Dorothy Flood recorded a verdict that he took his own life.
