“I am opening the inquest into the tragic death of Denise Michelle Unwin,” coroner Chris Morris said.
“A post-mortem, toxicology, and histological report was carried out by Michael Scott.
“The medical cause of death is 1A, combined drug toxicity.
“That is an unnatural cause of death so I am satisfied an inquest is required.”
Mr Morris also said the inquest, set for June, will examine Ms Unwin ‘was known to mental health services’, and gather evidence from her most recent employer.
Denise, of Silverlace Avenue in Openshaw, had been working as a credit controller, police coroners officer David Wood added.
“On October 22, a deceased female was found in a hotel,” he said.
“At 14:18 hours, the PCO identified her as Denise Michelle Unwin by using her photographic driving licence.”
The inquest will resume on June 8, 2022 at Stockport coroners court.
