He was later pronounced dead, succumbing to his injuries. 

An inquest into his death opened at Bolton Coroners' Court on Thursday, December 14. 

Speaking at the hearing, Police coroners officer Robert Struttman said: "Mr Green suffered from mental health issues and had a history of attempting to take his own life."
