Man, 26, found dead in Greater Manchester park just 500 metres from where he was reported missing a week before
A man was tragically found dead in a park less than 500 metres from where he was reported missing a week before.
In a statement read out to court, his sister said John was his ‘normal self’ and ‘did not seem out of character’ that evening and that he had drunk alcohol and smoked ‘a couple of joints’. She added that he had been making plans to help her clean her garden and take his niece and nephew to Trafford Park the following week.
Police initially conducted CCTV investigations nearby and took statements from his family, also conducting door-to-door enquiries. At the time, he was recorded as being of medium risk, the court was told. John's body could have been found five days earlier, court hears Giving evidence, DCI Chris Maddocks confirmed there were a number of items found at the scene, including John’s damaged mobile phone, his driver's licence, a jacket, baseball cap and four empty bottles of Budweiser. On his person, handwritten letters dated from the month of July were also found.
The inquest heard that John, who also used cocaine and smoked cannabis, had first called his GP in January 2020 regarding his mental health. Between then and August 16 - nine days before he was discovered dead - John had a number of assessments by doctors where he was prescribed with medication such as propranolol, sertraline and fluoxetine.
