AN inquest will reveal how a young Southampton man died when riding a motorbike in the woods in Southampton.

Winchester Coroner’s Court has opened the inquest of Kane Morgan, 22, who was pronounced dead by ambulance crews in Lordshill Woods after his motorbike crashed into a tree.

As reported, tributes were paid to Mr Morgan when friends and family staged a memorial balloon launch to remember him. A Go Fund Me page was set-up to pay for his funeral.

The page raised £1,250, more than double its £500 target.

Scores of floral tributes and balloons were also left by two trees at the scene of the crash.

His death on April 14 came just a month after Mr Morgan, from Cherwell Crescent, Millbrook, had celebrated his 22nd birthday.

The incident saw a huge police and ambulance presence in the area as they rushed to the woods behind Matheson Road.

The inquest will take place at Winchester Coroner’s Court on August 31.
