Nelson Pratt, 33, was found by his father Nigel in the garage of the family home in Grateley, near Andover.

He was pronounced dead by paramedics from South Central Ambulance Service.

Police, who were called to the property in Cholderton Road at 6.35pm last Wednesday, are not treating his death as suspicious.
