A coroner recorded an open verdict on an aircraft fitter found dead in his lounge.
Alan Iles, 42, of Fife Street, Middlesbrough, was found at his home on September 12 last year after he failed to respond to his former girlfriend's telephone calls.
An inquest at Teesside Coroners' Court heard how before his death Mr Iles was taking diazepam to help him cope with panic attacks.
Mr Iles did not leave a suicide note and had given no indication that he wished to take his life.
