Oliver Duro Hatcher was found dead with his head partly submerged in a greenhouse water tank.
An open verdict was returned. When the coroner returned the verdict he said that it was obvious to him after inspecting the water tank that no one in their normal health could have been drowned in the tank as it would have been a simple matter to escape.
