A TWO-year-old boy found dead next to his dad's body died from dehydration, an inquest heard.
Bronson Battersby was curled up at the legs of his father Kenneth, 60, who had suffered a fatal heart attack.
They were discovered after a social worker and the landlady of their basement flat gained entry on January 9.
Mr Battersby's body was blocking the living room door. It was not initially known that Bronson was also inside.
Bronson appeared "quite malnourished", an inquest opening at Lincoln coroner's court was told.
