Shrewsbury hospital bed death of ex-police officer ‘avoidable’, inquest rules The death of a retired police officer whose head became trapped between the rails and mattress of his hospital bed was an “avoidable accident”, a coroner has concluded.

Max Dingle, 83, died 15 minutes after he was found “entrapped” on a ward at Royal Shrewsbury hospital on 3 May 2020. A senior coroner found resuscitation had not been attempted despite Dingle electing for life-saving intervention and having a pulse when he was found. The Guardian
