Their bodies were found in an overturned, partially submerged Ford Fiesta in Gwynedd, North Wales, on November 21.<\/p>\n
An inquest heard today how a provisional cause of death for all four boys was given as drowning.<\/p>\n
Kate Robertson, senior coroner for North West Wales said the car they were travelling in "left the road" on the A4085 at Llanfrothen.<\/p>\n
The boys were identified by their heartbroken family members, the court in Caernarfon was told.<\/p>\n
The inquest, which was not attended by any relatives, was adjourned until a police investigation into the tragedy is complete.<\/p>\n
Ms Robertson said: "A police investigation is ongoing. Only when it's complete will a full inquest take place.<\/p>\n
"I offer the families of Wilf, Jevon, Hugo and Harvey my sincerest condolences."<\/p>\n
A huge search was launched for the boys when they failed to return home to Shropshire from the overnight trip.<\/p>\n
