Cause of death of salesman found dead at home, 'unascertained' inquest hears
The cause of death of a man who was found dead at his home in Denham has been described as ‘unascertained’, an inquest opening has confirmed.
Jason Peter Keenan, a 54-year-old salesman born in Hillingdon, Greater London, was discovered on July 14, 2025.
Emergency services were called to his address along Stanley Kubrick Road in the town after a welfare concern was raised with authorities.
Upon their arrival, they checked his bedroom and found Mr Keenan unresponsive.
He received treatment but was confirmed deceased.
At the inquest opening, which took place at Beaconsfield Coroners Court on Monday, February 2, senior coroner Crispin Butler revealed that no cause of death had officially been made.
A full inquest into the salesman’s death is due to take place on April 30 at the same location.
