He said: “I am told he had an underlying heart condition.
“There was a minor altercation on the dance floor and then Mr Gaunt went outside into the beer garden. About 15 minutes later he keeled over. It is a tragic situation.”
The inquest, at Derby Coroner’s Court, is expected to last two to three days.
