At the inquest opening, coroner Penelope Schofield, who described the death as "unnatural", scheduled a provisional inquest for 12 June.
Coroner's officer John Halloran said Mr Rainbow was treated by ambulance crews after a "disturbance".
He died "despite [the] best efforts by medics" after being seen unresponsive, he said.
