A pensioner who died in a mobile home blaze has been named as 77-year-old Leonard Arthur Mizen.

Mr Mizen died along with his dog when fire tore through his mobile home at The Willows at Ford, near Arundel, at 3.40am on April 12.

His wife, Dorothy, 80, was woken by the sound of the blaze and managed to escape, alerting neighbours in the residential park, who called the emergency services.

Firefighters and police desperately attempted to rescue Mr Mizen but could not reach him.

Mrs Mizen was taken to St Richard's Hospital, Chichester, where she was treated for shock.

An inquest date has yet to be set.
