An inquest starts today into the death of a pensioner with dementia.

The body of William Lee, 77, was discovered in Mays Lane in Barnet last March.

The pensioner had disappeared from his home in Stoke Newington a few days before.

Mr Lee, who was also known as Bill, was suffering from the early stages of dementia.

The inquest will take place at North London Coroners Court in Barnet today and tomorrow.
