THE remains of a man who went missing almost 28 years ago were discovered by a member of the public.

David Emrys Gear, who was 86, went missing from a nursing home where he was a resident in 1997 and was never found.

An inquest into his death, which opened at Swansea's Guildhall yesterday, heard that a human skull was discovered near Pentre-malwed Road in Morriston, Swansea, on February 20 this year.

The inquest heard that the cranium itself was sitting on the surface of the ground with leaf litter around it.

It appeared to have been in the location for some time, the inquest heard, but not sunken into the ground.
