Albert Mark Fairhead was found dead in his home with his head in a tub of water.

The Coroner said that if he had chosen to commit suicide then he had chosen a most difficult method.

It was noted that his business was sound and that he had no domestic worries.

The cause of death was given as suffocation from drowning.
