A man died in a Huntingdonshire house boat fire, an inquest hearing has revealed.  

Mark Jones, 57, died at Hartford Marina, near Wyton, on December 22 of last year.  

An inquest into his death was opened today (Thursday) at Peterborough Town Hall.  

Simon Milburn, an area coroner for Cambridgeshire and Peterborough, said: “It’s clear Mr Jones’ death followed a house boat fire. 

“I’m therefore adjourning this case for a final hearing on June 17, 2024.”  

The emergency services were called to the incident shortly before 8.15am that morning.
