The inquest into the death of a 25-year-old who was "deeply loved" has opened, with a post-mortem examination finding the cause of death to be a traumatic head injury.

Ipswich man Charlie Greaves died on August 11 after a family member found him not moving under a bed in Felixstowe.

Paramedics were called to Suffolk Sands Holiday Park in Felixstowe's Carr Road, where he was staying, but he was confirmed dead at 10.31am on August 11.

Police had been called to an incident at about 9.20pm the previous night to Felixstowe seafront after receiving reports of an assault.

Detective Inspector with Suffolk police, Mark Hughes, was present in Suffolk Coroners' Court on Friday to read evidence into the opening of the inquest.

He said that Mr Greaves had sustained a head injury and he was treated by paramedics at the scene and was taken to where he was staying.

A Home Office post-mortem examination was undertaken on August 13, where it was found Mr Greaves had suffered traumatic head injuries. 

An investigation is currently being conducted, Det Insp Hughes said.

The day after Mr Greaves' death, a 28-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of murder.

He has since been released on bail and is to return to police on October 7.

In a tribute, Mr Greaves' family described him as an "affable young man who was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time".

They continued: "He had been with his partner for eight years and loved to go on holiday with his family. He doted on his grandparents and would help to care for them.

“His pet Princess was a rescue dog that he had acquired about nine months ago and she had brought him a great deal of joy. He also loved to cook and play his music loud.

“He had a heart bigger than Ipswich and loved to chat - he would talk to anyone and everyone. He made an impact on the lives of everyone he met.

“He was deeply loved and will be sorely missed by all his family and friends.”

Mr Greaves' inquest was opened and has been suspended by senior coroner Mr Nigel Parsley due to the ongoing police investigation.

The case will be reviewed once these proceedings have finished.
