Death
Chris Thompson was found dead in the hallway of his flat in
Anderson Gardens, Tipton, on 5th June 2012. An inquest into his death six
months later failed to identify a specific cause of death, but the
pathologist had discovered sclerosis of the liver and due to the
decomposed state of his body he may have died several weeks before his
body was discovered. His sister, Maureen Bradshaw, told the coroner that
he had struggled with depression in later life and was a heavy
drinker.
A post mortem confirmed that Mr Thompson had cirrhosis of the liver and that his death was ‘most likely’ related to alcohol – either excessive consumption or withdrawal.
