A POLISH immigrant was found dead at home by his neighbour, an inquest heard.

The body of Krzysztof Zbigniew Zukowski, a 39-year-old factory worker, was found at his flat in Wellington Street, Mill Hill, Blackburn, on New Year's Day after neighbour Ian Billington became concerned about his welfare and broke in.

A post-mortem examination has been carried out but further toxicology tests are needed.

Coroner Michael Singleton adjourned the inquest until March 20.
