A 92-year-old man whose body was found in a field, died as a result of hypothermia.
The medical cause of death was stated as hypothermia with dementia a contributing factor.
Mr Fidgeon, who formerly worked in the technical education sector, had been reported as missing on Boxing Day after he failed to show up to a planned visit at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital.
The inquest has been adjourned to April 27, at the Norfolk Coroners Court.
Mr Fidgeon was born in Hartlepool in November 1928.
At the peak, the hospital was treating 351 Covid patients, including 38 people from out of area - this is the equivalent of 40pc of the hospital s total adult beds in use for Covid patients.
The operating officer told the board that while general beds were starting to become freer, patient numbers in critical care have remained static for some time - around 50 - and the workforce was still beyond stretched .
The board also heard that this time around patients are requiring longer stays in hospital, with more than 100 Covid patients having been in the hospital for 14 days or more.
