AN INQUEST has been adjourned into the death of a man whose body was found in Carr Mill Dam last week.
The body of 66-year-old Ray Gent from Upholland Road in Billinge was recovered from the water after he was spotted by a passer-by at around 9.30am on Friday, February 27.
Police say they are not treating his death as suspicious.
In a brief hearing at St Helens Town Hall on Tuesday, coroner Christopher Sumner said that Mr Gent had been reported missing by his wife in the hours before he was found.
He adjourned an inquest into Mr Gent’s death until June.
