On the 7th September 2016 I commenced an investigation into the death of Clive Davies. The investigation concluded at the end of an inquest on the 15th March 2017. The conclusion of the inquest was that of a narrative conclusion “Clive Davies died from the complication of a head and neck injury which he sustained when he fell down the stairs at his home address. The precise cause of the fall is unknown but is likely to have been due to the medical condition which he suffered with.”

The deceased, who was known to have fallen several times since January 2016 and who was generally in poor health, fell down the stairs at his home address on the 22nd August 2016 he was conveyed to the Royal Glamorgan Hospital where a CT scan revealed serious head injury (Intraventricular Haemorrhage) and a Cervical Spine Fracture. Initially his observations were stable but a noticeable deterioration occurred on the 24th August where upon a further CT head scan took place which revealed progression of the intracranial bleed. He was not deemed suitable for surgical intervention. His condition fluctuated and he appeared to be making some progress although his family maintained that he was deteriorating throughout his hospital admission. In the early of 30th August he was found unresponsive in his bed and could not be revived. He was declared deceased shortly after.
