The widow of a British soldier who lay decomposing in barracks for three weeks has blasted the Army for the 'unforgiveable' delay in finding his body.
Father-of-three Lance Corporal Bernard Morgan was discovered on January 23 2020 in his bedroom at Catterick Garrison, North Yorkshire.
A senior coroner ruled today it was 'not possible to determine' whether L/Cpl Mongan died from suicide or natural causes and recorded an open conclusion.
The soldier's death followed a prolonged period of 'degrading' by senior officers which involved him being 'shouted, screamed and swore at'.
An inquest at North Yorkshire Coroner's Court heard the 33-year-old's medical cause of death was 'unascertained' as decomposition made it difficult for doctors to determine.
