The hearing was adjourned in Warrington, Cheshire, following the post-mortem examination on Speed, 42. An inquest on Wales football manager Gary Speed has been told that his wife found him hanged at home.

The inquest was told that Louise Speed found the body just before 7am on Sunday and called the ambulance service, but police are not treating the death as suspicious.
The inquest on the ex-Premier League player was adjourned to 30 January.
The hearing was also told that reports are being awaited from the pathologist.
Earlier, politicians in the Welsh assembly observed a minute's silence in his honour after the discovery of his body on Sunday stunned Wales and the sporting world.
A tribute will also be staged before Tuesday night's cup tie between Cardiff City and Blackburn Rovers.


In a statement issued on Monday afternoon Speed's family said they had been overwhelmed by the support they have received following his death.
