The 44-year-old (pictured) died following a difficult cliff-top rescue in February.  He suffered multiple injuries after apparently falling to the bottom of Blue Bay.

The Court of Alderney heard that Mr Spandler died after suffering a cardiac arrest in the early hours of 19 February.

Jurat Colin Partridge said: ‘Pending the results of the toxicology tests, Jurats will reserve the cause of death and adjourn the inquest.’
