An inquest into the death of Steven Cook began this past Friday.

Full inquest will be held later this year, but in the meantime Steve's body has been released to his family for burial, 12 years after he vanished.

Lovely words for Steven at his funeral last week, I don't think there is a cause of death yet.

I'm assuming they will be able to tell if he fell in? Certain broken bones, etc?

Open Verdict:

The family and friends of Steven Cook gathered at the Municipal Buildings in Crewe today hoping to learn the fate of their 20-year-old son, brother, uncle and friend who disappeared during a holiday in Crete in September 2005.

Inconclusive evidence meant that the coroner could not rule out accidental death or that Steven was a victim of crime.

Worth reading, it's an interesting summary of the investigation and inquest. I especially liked the message from his dad:

“The important thing is that Steven is home. The idea was that he would come home alive and we fought hard pursuing that possibility. Having him here, we have somewhere that we can go to share our memories, share our thoughts, have a chat to him and tell him that Liverpool are on for winning the league this year."
