3. | INVESTIGATION and INQUEST

On 24" July 2018 I commenced an investigation into the death of Bryan GRAY aged

31 years. The investigation concluded at the end of the inquest on 12" February 2019.
The conclusion of the inquest was OPEN CONCLUSION including medical cause of
death was 1a) Extensive internal injuries due to 1b) Fall from height.

4. | CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE DEATH

The deceased fell from a third floor window at The Crossings, 55 Great Union Street,
Kingston upon Hull in the early evening of 21° July 2018. As a result of this fall, he
sustained multiple injuries incompatible with life and died in Hull Royal Infirmary later
that day.

5. | CORONER’S CONCERNS

During the course of the inquest the evidence revealed matters giving rise to concern. In
my opinion there is a risk that future deaths will occur unless action is taken. In the
circumstances it is my statutory duty to report to you.

The MATTERS OF CONCERN are as follows. —

(1) The deceased fell from a window. It was unclear whether a window restrictor was in
place at the time of the incident or if this had been broken by him to enable him to climb
over the window ledge

It is understood that this window restrictor has since been replaced with a wire cable
type but it was established during the investigation that the other windows within the
building did not have any window restrictors in place.

ACTION SHOULD BE TAKEN

In my opinion action should be taken to prevent future deaths and I believe your
organisation have the power to take such action.
