AN INQUEST has been opened into the death of a man who was found dead in Ringwood.
The body of Lucas John Hales, 29, was found by a member of the public at scrubland behind the Embankment Way business park in February.
Police and paramedics were called to the scene at 7.45am and a cordon was implemented, in part to shield the site from employees on their way to work.
Tributes were paid to Mr Hales - a talented tattoo artist - following his death.
He was described as a loving father and a good friend who would be sorely missed.
The inquest into his death is due to be concluded on October 3.
