AN inquest has opened into the death of a 36-year-old York Nestlé worker who was found dead at his home.

Kevin Dunn, of Gladstone Street, Acomb, worked at the confectionery firm for 12 years and was a ‘valued member of the team,’ said a company spokesman.

“Everyone at Nestlé York sends their condolences to Kevin’s family,” he said. “We will continue to provide support for Kevin’s family during this very difficult time.”

A coroner’s officer said the inquest heard that Mr Dunn was found at his home on May 27 and a provisional cause of death was hanging.

She said the inquest was adjourned to a later date.
