IN THE WEST YORKSHIRE WESTERN CORONER’S COURT

IN THE MATTER OF:

The Inquests Touching the Death of Keith William Rushton
A Regulation Report — Action to Prevent Future Deaths

THIS REPORT IS BEING SENT TO:
Chief Executive - West Yorkshire Ambulance Service NHS Tnist and
the
Secretary of State for Health, Department of Health

1 | CORONER
Martin Fleming HM Senior Coroner for West Yorkshire Western

2 | CORONER’S LEGAL POWERS
I make this report under paragraph 7, Schedule 5, of the Coroners and
Justice Act 2009 and regulations 28 and 20 of the Coroners
(nvestigations) Regulations 2013

3 | INVESTIGATION and INQUEST
On the 22/12/2016 opened an inquest into the death of Keith William
Rushton who, at the date of his death was aged 78 years old. The inquest
was resumed and concluded on 31/8/2016.
I found that the cause of death to be: -
Ja Multi Organ Failure
Ib Rhabdomyolysis
Ul Long Lay, Obesity, Atrial Fibrillation and Right Heart Failure
I concluded with a narrative conclusion:-
On 16/12/2015, Keith William Rushton was found collapsed at his home
address where he had been for 20 hours, after sliding out of bed and
unable to get up. When taken to hospital, notwithstanding treatment, he
succumbed and died from crush injuries to his legs later the same day.
Although it is found that there had been a delay in the arrival of the
ambulance, it is more likely than not, that an earlier arrival time would
not have made a difference to the outcome.
