Hide AdPolice had been called to the flat shortly before midnight on September 8 because of a disturbance, Wakefield senior coroner Kevin McLoughlin said.
Paramedics declared the 30-year-old dead around half an hour later.
A post-mortem showed he died from blunt force injuries to his head.
Mr McLoughlin said a man has since been charged with his murder, and so adjourned the case pending the outcome of the criminal proceedings.
