A 59-year-old reclusive son, Timothy Brown, lived with the corpse of his dead father for four months, until a neighbour had spotted his skeleton.
Timothy Brown, had placed his father, Kenneth Brown (94) in his favourite armchair after he suffered a fall during a fire in his bedroom, in June 2014.
An inquest heard how Brown found his father to be dead in the chair the next day, but did not call the emergency service.
The inquest also heard that in 18th October 2014, a neighbour saw the skeletal remains of Kenneth Brown clad in pyjamas, while his son watched TV in the same room.
Timothy Brown was later arrested for offences of concealing a body and preventing a burial.
It was also said that the son was not charged as detectives had decided that it was not in the public interest.
