An inquest on Conley Thompson is expected to be opened in the next few days.

The body of the seven-year-old was discovered yesterday morning on a construction site on Bank End Road, Worsbrough.

He had been out playing with his friends on Sunday night and was reported missing after failing to return home.

Locals have told the Chronicle the body was discovered by construction staff working on the site, who raised the alarm and called police.

The Chronicle understands the inquest will then be adjourned for further investigations to be carried out.
