Richard Handley: 'Gross failures' in constipation death A "missed opportunity" for potentially life-saving treatment contributed to the death of a man from constipation complications, an inquest has found.
Richard Handley, 33, who had Down's syndrome, died at Ipswich Hospital on 17 November 2012.
Some 10kg (22lb) of faeces were removed from his body two days before.
Coroner Dr Peter Dean said there were "gross failures" in spotting Mr Handley was in a critical state after the surgery. BBC News
