An inquest has been opened and adjourned into the death of a man in a Yeadon phone box.

Unemployed Brahnie Wesley Scott, 30, of Hawthorn Avenue, died from hanging. His body was discovered in the kiosk early on Sunday, January 7.

Police have not commented on reports that Mr Scott was found hanging by the telephone cord, but they said last week that their initial assessment led them to believe no-one else was involved.

The inquest was opened at Leeds Coroners Court. No date has been set as yet for its resumption.
