An inquest has been opened in Norwich into the death of an agricultural consultant from Overstrand who died in hospital.

William Bradfield, 58, of The Londs, Overstrand, was admitted to the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital on July 22 after suffering a haemorrhage caused by cancer. He received treatment but was pronounced dead later that day.

A post mortem revealed the cause of death was aspiration of blood as a result of cancer.

The inquest, opened by Norfolk Coroner William Armstrong this morning, was adjourned to resume at a later date.
