A CORONER has adjourned the inquest into the death of a Northwich teenager in order to call more witnesses to give evidence.

The family of Michael Igoe of Royal Gardens, Davenham, sat through almost three hours of evidence at the inquest on Wednesday, November 19 before the hearing was adjourned.

The popular 17-year-old, a former St Nicholas High School pupil, is believed to have drowned in the River Weaver in July.

Deputy coroner for Cheshire Dr Janet Napier told the inquest at Crewe Law Courts an adjournment was necessary to call further witnesses, including the last person who was believed to have seen Michael alive on the evening of July 4 at the Amber Lounge on Northwich High Street.
