Ms Keci said the family wanted to know why her brother was moved to the barge “when it seems his mental state was clearly not right”.
Mr Farruku’s cousin, Edison Hakani, said Mr Farruku arrived in the UK by boat from France and was processed by an immigration centre at Heathrow before he and another cousin, Mariglen Farruku, arranged for him to live with them.
Mr Hakani said his cousin was given a place at a hotel in Paignton, Devon, with the assistance of the Migrant Help charity, but he also lost contact with him in August 2023.
The inquest heard a post-mortem examination found he died as a result of compression to the neck and suspension by ligature.
A previous hearing was told there were “no suspicious circumstances” to his death.
The inquest continues.
