AN INQUEST is to open next week into the sudden death of a man in York.

North Yorkshire Police said the inquest into Richard Cumberland's death will be opened and adjourned on Monday.

The force has said previously that officers were called by the ambulance service earlier this week, following the sudden death of the 37-year-old man at a property in Clifton.

It said his death was not being treated as suspicious and officers were carrying out an investigation to establish the full circumstances which led to his death.
