The 37-year-old was found in a field off Steam Mill Lane, Ripley.

Mr Annable’s inquest took place at Chesterfield Coroner’s Court on Wednesday.

Recording a conclusion of suicide, coroner Sabyta Kaushal said: “He had a history of depression and heroin dependence.

“Ligature marks around his neck confirm Mr Annable took his own life and that he intended to do so.”

An inquest is a public judicial inquiry to find the answers to a limited but important set of questions: who the deceased was; when and where they died; the medical cause of their death; and how they came by their death.
