The hearing was told that the cause of death was pending while further investigations were being carried out by the pathologist.

Assistant coroner Rachel Knight told the hearing that she was satisfied that it was necessary to open the inquest because there was a reason to suspect that Mrs Davies' death was "unnatural".

“I would like to take this opportunity to express my condolences to the friends and family of Danniella Nicole Davies at this sad time," she added before adjourning the inquest.
