Mr Jorge was 46 years old when he died sometime between 21 October and 25 November this year.
He spent a lot of his time towards the end of his life living in a tent or a small shelter within a vinery site in St Martin’s, although he did rent a room at a property at Bailiff’s Cross Road.
Mr Jorge was known to misuse alcohol and drugs during his lifetime and suffered from mental health issues. He was last seen alive by a friend who delivered his prescribed medication to him at the vinery on 21 October. A member of the public found his body on 25 November.
A post-mortem examination was held but no cause of death could be determined. A preliminary report was presented to the inquest which said: “There are no injuries or other findings to indicate the involvement of another person in this death”.
The Judge overseeing his inquest offered his deepest sympathy to Mr Jorge’s family and friends and said he allowed the body to be released for a funeral service to be held.
The inquest was adjourned sine die which means no date has been set for the next hearing while the enquiries continue, but the Judge said he hopes the matter will be brought back to court as soon as possible to offer closure to Mr Jorge’s loved ones.
