AN inquest is set to be held this week following the death of a 'kind man' from Walney.

Jamie Bull died suddenly at his home on Biggar Garth on Tuesday March 5.

Police were called by paramedics to a report of a sudden death of a man in his 30s after they were asked to carry out a welfare check.

One of his neighbours said at the time: "I am saddened by the news and feel so sorry for his parents and all his family.

“He was a very kind man.”

The inquest will be held at Barrow Town Hall on Friday.
