He died at the Norfolk and Norwich hospital in Colney on Monday, May 15.
An inquest into his death was opened on Tuesday, June 27 at Norfolk Coroner’s Court by coroner Yvonne Blake.
Ms Blake gave the medical cause of death as cardiac atrophy and failure, due to or as a result of malnutrition, Crohn’s disease and self-neglect, with pulmonary thromboembolism and infarction.
