A FORMER security guard whose body was discovered at his Bursledon home died as a result of neck injuries.

Olayinka Abisogun, 40, who was known as Ola, was found by police after concerned neighbours raised the alarm.

As previously reported in the Daily Echo, Mr Abisogun's death initially sparked an inquiry after the discovery at Rowan Close last Thursday.

Although the circumstances were thought to be suspicious police later confirmed they were not looking for anyone else in connection with his death.

Police have since been trying to contact Mr Abisogun's family in Nigeria.

An inquest was opened and adjourned on Wednesday.
