A 49-year-old man from Warrington Road, Dagenham, was found dead in his room after apparently being electrocuted, an inquest has heard.
Momchil Rusev was discovered by his landlord lying on his back while clutching a partially exposed electrical wire, according to senior coroner Graeme Irvine, who formally opened an inquest into the death at East London Coroner’s Court in Walthamstow on Wednesday, April 9.
Mr Irvine ordered the disclosure of medical records, and reports from both the Metropolitan Police and London Ambulance Service to assist with the investigation.
Final Inquest Scheduled
The full inquest hearing into Mr Rusev’s death has been scheduled for October 2. It will consider whether lessons can be learned and whether any steps should be taken to prevent future similar fatalities.
