The body of 33-year-old Robin Richards from Minehead was found at Highbridge Court in Burnham-on-Sea on the 29th June, 2015.

He died four days later at Weston General Hospital.

A jury at Wells Town Hall heard that Mr Richards had multiple needs arising from various mental health conditions, including Aspergers and ADHD.

His sister, Amanda Richards, told the jury in a written statement that as a social worker she is "very used to dealing with complex needs" but that in the last few months of her brother’s life, in her opinion his care had been poor.

The inquest is expected to last for two weeks.
