An inquest into the tragic death of Ormskirk's Joseph Whittle was opened in Preston today.
It came just days after family, friends and Home Bargain work colleagues had gathered at West Lancashire Crematorium on Friday afternoon to celebrate his life.
An advert in The Champ. had reminded folk to make it a happy occasion, reading: "Please come dressed as if having a night out with Joe." Donations for mental health charity MIND were collected after the service with a wake at The Eureka on Halsall Lane.
The 26-year-old took his own life at the Scarth Hill Chapel where a small shrine in his memory was set up after his tragic death by friends a day after his body was discovered there in late January: http://ormskirk.qlocal.co.uk/ormskir...e-55027893.htm
