THE inquest of a man who was found dead in a pond has been opened.
Kenneth Morse, 56, from Bradford, was found in Smithies Pond on Sunday January 13. He had been visiting Barnsley to attend a football match.
At around 2pm that afternoon, he was found with a head injury under the underpass on Pontefract Road and was taken to hospital. Kenneth later discharged himself and a missing person enquiry was launched.
His body was found the following morning.
The inquest was opened last Thursday and adjourned while the coroner awaits reports.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
