His inquest was opened in Chichester on September 30 but West Sussex coroner Penelope Schofield had to adjourn the hearing because of the imminent court case against Lee's father, Robert Floyd.

During the inquest, post-mortem examination results were read out which stated Lee's cause of death as haemorrhage and a stab wound to the abdomen.

Mr Floyd, 64, is charged with murdering his son at the terraced chalet bungalow in Elbridge Crescent, which was shared by Lee, his father and his grandparents.

Mr Floyd is currently remanded in custody and will appear before Lewes Crown Court on November 19, for a plea and case management hearing.
