An inquest has been opened into the death of 23-year-old Curtis Moran, whose body was discovered earlier this month at the Cranbrook Hotel on Coventry Road in Ilford.
Discovery and Initial Police Response
Mr Moran, originally from Oval Grange, Hartlepool, was found deceased on June 12 after concerns were raised about his welfare. Officers from the Metropolitan Police were called to the hotel and entered his room, locating Mr Moran in the bathroom.
The coroner has requested:
- A statement from Mr Moran’s family describing who he was in life and any concerns they may have.

- A review of potential interactions with local mental health providers.
A final inquest hearing has been provisionally scheduled for October 2025.
