A MAN found hanging from his loft hatch after arguing with his former partner died almost instantly, an inquest heard.
Trevor Shaw, 40, of Laburnum Grove, Port Clarence, Stockton, was discovered by his son after his former partner, Beverley Green, and sister, Anita Gatley, forced their way into his house on September 22, last year.
Teesside Coroner Michael Sheffield recorded a verdict that Mr Shaw killed himself.
After the hearing, his sister, June Wilson, said: "He was a lovely man. I can't understand why he did it. He was the best brother anyone could have and we all miss him."
