A homeless man is found dead in his temporary accommodation in Blackburn, but the circumstances are not as straightforward as they seem. Investigations by the Lancashire coroner's team, reveal that he not only checked himself out of hospital hours earlier, but he had previously been the victim of a nasty assault. The Coroner's team must investigate whether this attack could have contributed to his death. Meanwhile in Preston, paramedics are called to the flat of a young woman who has been found dead after complaining of a bad chest. Are the two things related?
