A MAN found dead after taking his own life was being investigated by police over alleged historic sex offences, it has emerged.
The body of Christopher Roy Kippax, 36, was discovered on land near a farm in Tameside on July 23 last year.
It followed a search by his family and police after he was reported missing the previous evening.
A post-mortem revealed Mr Kippax died due to the 'combined toxic effects' of three different drugs, combined with alcohol, an inquest into his death heard.
The coronial hearing, which concluded last week, was told that at the time of his death, Mr Kippax, was ‘under investigation' by police. His family said it was 'clear' the investigation was ‘affecting him.'
No details about the investigation were given during the hearing before coroner Alison Mutch at South Manchester Coroners Court.
Greater Manchester Police have since confirmed in a statement to the M.E.N. that officers were investigating Mr Kippax in relation to alleged 'non-recent sexual offences! He had been interviewed and released under investigation, the force added.
