Hi Janice. The inquest on 30th May 1975 would not have been the full inquest, it may have been to allow the body to be released for burial or cremation. The Times and The Guardian do not carry any details on the inquest. I would try local papers, but there may not be too much detail unless there was some sort of failure of care.
