The death of a man who was found dead in his home after 28 days has been recalled at an inquest.

Philip Knight, 52, died alone in his Charlton Hill, New Ross, Co Wexford, residence in April from a very severe heart disease, but wasn’t discovered until 28 days later.

Mr Knight, of 70, Charlton Hill, New Ross, was found on the evening of May 28 after neighbours raised an alarm about his whereabouts amid concerns over a strong smell from his house.
