AN inquest has been opened and adjourned into a Worcester man who died following a fall outside a city car park at the weekend.

Worcestershire coroner Victor Round said that Dean Uzzell, aged 35, of Stanley Road, died of multiple injuries consistent with a fall.

He was found lying unconscious outside CrownGate Bus Station on Saturday around 9.30am. He was pronounced dead on arrival at Worcestershire Royal Hospital.

Mr Round said Mr Uzzell, an unemployed builder's labourer, had a history of depression and previous attempts at self-harm.

The inquest, opened yesterday at County Hall, was adjourned to a date to be fixed.
