Mrs Rhodes-Kemp said: "Police were called by the estate manager; the call was for a concern for the welfare of the resident.
"He had not been seen for a couple of weeks by his support network and had not picked up his medication. Mr Palmer was found lying face down on the sofa in his home, with no life-saving opportunities. He has been there for some time."
A post-mortem was carried out by pathologist Amanda Jeffery, who said the cause of death was unascertainable.
Mrs Rhodes-Kemp adjourned the inquest to December 15. It will be heard at Winchester Coroner's Court.
