An inquest has opened into the death of a city surveyor who died from organ failure at a Norfolk hospital. 

Iain Bond from Raymond Road, off Reepham Road, died at the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital on September 3. 

The coroner’s court heard that the 77-year-old's primary medical cause of death was multiple organ failure.

This was due to, or because of, aspiration pneumonitis and a paracetamol overdose. 

He also had an underlying heart condition.
