Mr Walker said a post-mortem examination on August 6 gave the preliminary medical cause of death as “multiple bodily injuries”.

Detective Inspector Aimee-Leigh Sando said police could not “give a timeframe” on when the investigation into Mr Claydon’s death will be completed. Ms Sando told the inquest: “We are reviewing all evidence including CCTV footage and surrounding evidence.

“We are looking to complete statements from significant witnesses of those present during the fall. A substantial amount of personnel came forward after we put out the media request.” Mr Walker adjourned the inquest until a pre-inquest hearing on November 19.

His dad, Clive, previously claimed his son fell to his death after slipping on beer - and insisted he was "not drunk".

He said: "There was beer all over the floor, it was really slippery, and Lee just slipped and fell. I've been told that it was an accident waiting to happen. It was a horrible, horrible accident. All I really know is there was beer everywhere, he slipped, and we don’t know the rest of it.

"He has never taken drugs in his life and he may have had a beer, who doesn’t at a concert, but he certainly was not drunk."

In an emotional tribute posted on social media in the days after he died, his girlfriend Amanda said: "I don’t have many words right now… but it’s just not fair, and it’s not right that you’re not here with us.

"But I will never stop loving you! My best friend, my soulmate, and the other half (the sensible and smarter half!) of our one brain.

"You were the best person to be around, day or night. We went through some tough times, but they only made us stronger. I’m so grateful for the time we had together, even though this cruel world cut it way too short. We had so much to look forward to.

"I will try my best to be strong for all our boys and they will make you so proud. You also have the most amazing family and friends, and we’ll all be there for each other and probably share some memories that you wish they had forgotten.

"Love you so much, and [saying] miss you just doesn’t cut it. I am forever yours, babe. Learning to live without you is something I never thought I’d have to do."

AGoFundMe page launched by his brother Aaron has now raised over £30,000, smashing its initial £5,000 target. All money raised will be used to support his immediate family, he wrote on the page's description, adding: "Lee was a loving family man who was a role model to his son Harry and was loved so much by all his family. Lee would have done anything for any of us and he was taken from us far too soon and we will miss him so very much."
