Man found in canal after three-week search fell into the water 'unintentionally'
23.03.2023 - 10:03 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
A man found dead in a canal following a three-week search fell into the water 'unintentionally', a coroner has concluded. Peter Curphey's body was pulled from the Leeds and Liverpool Canal in Wigan on April 11 last year.
An inquest at Bolton Coroners' Court heard the 44-year-old drowned after taking a 'significant quantity of drugs'.
Delivering his findings at the conclusion of the inquest today (Wednesday), senior coroner Timothy Brennand ruled Mr Curphey did not intend to enter the water.

Mr Curphey, who had a history of mental health problems and substance abuse, was discharged from a mental health unit months earlier.
He was admitted to Atherleigh Park mental health hospital in Leigh in December 2021 after his family became concerned about his 'violent and unpredictable' behaviour. While at the hospital, he was diagnosed with a mental and behavioural disorder, believed to have been caused by his 'prolonged' drug use.
After refusing to return from a period of leave the following month, Mr Curphey was discharged from the facility. Mr Curphey's mother, Deborah Mercer, said she believed her son needed to be placed in a secure unit as he was 'profoundly unwell'.
However, she added that he was ‘good at masking his condition’ when talking to clinicians. In February of last year, Mr Curphey attended the A&E department at Royal Albert Edward Infirmary in Wigan, where he reported feeling suicidal and owing money to drug dealers.
He asked to be sectioned but the decision was taken to not admit him to hospital, the inquest heard.
Mr Curphey was last seen alive on March 17 when CCTV from a car garage in Challenge Way
