Three inquests are being opened by the coroner this morning (Monday).

Alastair Montgomerie will look into the deaths of a visitor to the Island for the Manx Grand Prix, and a Laxey man whose body was found towards the end of last month.

He is also due to open proceedings in relation to a convicted sex offender, who died in custody while receiving treatment for what the Department of Home Affairs says was a number of serious medical conditions.

Sixty-seven-year-old James Richard Fargher from Peel passed away in Noble's Hospital last month, while serving a prison sentence at Jurby for carrying out seven indecent assaults.

In relation to the other matters, 69-year-old Melvin Arthur Unwin from Cambridgeshire died in a road accident near the Round Table crossroads on August 28, and the body of 52-year-old George Stephen Crowe was found at his home in Laxey, on August 26.
