A MAN was found decapitated outside a cemetery by a member of the public, an inquest heard.
Simon John Lockstone, of Ashfield Avenue, Bushey, was found outside Edgwarebury Cemetery, in Edgwarebury Lane, Edgware, on Wednesday September 9.
The 57-year-old, who was unemployed, died when the Fiat Panda he was driving in crashed and the death is not being treated as suspicious.
No other vehicles were involved.
The man who found Mr Lockstone called the emergency services at 6.45am and he was pronounced dead just after 7am.
A post-morterm recorded the cause of death as decapitation.
A burial order has been issued to the family.
