THE inquest into the death of a North-East student whose body was found in Lake Windermere last year will be held at the end of August.
Matthew Jordan, from Nunthorpe, Middlesbrough, went missing in March 2014 after becoming separated from his friends during a night out. He told them he was going to use the toilet.
The criminology student's body was found 20 days later, in the lake.
An inquest held into his death at Kendal last year was halted after his family's solicitor complained of too many gaps in the evidence.
She said there was a gap in evidence between Matthew leaving the Hole in the Wall public house to the time he entered the lake. However, Coroner Ian Smith warned the answers may never be known.
The resumed inquest will last a day and will be held in Kendal on August 28.
The family remain mystified as to why Matthew's iPhone - found on his body in the water - still worked despite apparently being underwater for 20 days.
A bruise on Mr Jordan’s head was found during a post-mortem examination but a small cut to his eye was missed.
