A TRAVELLER found hanging at a Bishop Auckland caravan park intended to take his own life, a coroner has ruled.
Thomas Jardine, 32, was found by relatives and friends on November 9 last year.
The Darlington inquest heard that a post-mortem examination revealed that a small amount of alcohol was found in his blood.
Coroner Andrew Tweddle said: "From the evidence we have, there was nothing to suggest there were any suspicious circumstances surrounding his death and no third party was involved.
"The only conclusion I can come to is that Mr Jardine intended to take his own life."
