Man found dead in 'toxic' gas car named

A man from Wolverhampton found dead in a car apparently filled with toxic chemicals has been named.

The body of Naresh Kumar Ahir, aged 40, from Wolverhampton, was discovered alongside that of Craige Harris in a Vauxhall Corsa containing A4 sheets of paper warning emergency services of the hazard.

The pair were found by a jogger near a water treatment works in Winteringham, North Lincolnshire, at 7am on Friday.

Both men appeared to be dead.

The men were later identified by relatives. A post mortem examination could not confirm the cause of deaths, and further toxicological results are expected. Humberside

Police confirmed that Mr Harris had been spoken to by officers prior to his death, but there were no charges as a result of the interview.

In a profile on an online business website, Mr Harris described himself as a photographer, web designer and ICT professional.

He wrote: "IT professional who likes to build web pages and advanced amateur photographer."

The inquest was yesterday opened and adjourned to a date to be fixed.
