Investigation and Inquest
On 23/11/2018 I commenced an investigation into the death of Shirley FROGGETT aged 84. The investigation concluded at the end of the inquest on 19 February 2021. The conclusion of the inquest was: I a Bronchopneumonia I b Fractured Left Femur (Operated 25/09/2018) I c II Osteopenia
Circumstances of the Death
Shirley Froggett died on the eighth of November 2018 at the Old Lodge Nursing Home, Sandypits Lane, Etwall, Derbyshire. Conclusion of the Coroner as to the death: Shirley Froggettt died of bronchopneumonia resulting from a fractured left femur which was sustained in a fall from a wheelchair in a Nursing Home. Despite a care plan being in place, requiring Mrs Froggett to be secured in her wheelchair, to prevent her from falling, the lap-strap was not applied as it was missing a buckle. The continued use of the wheelchair and the non-observance of the care plan were gross failures. As such Mrs Froggett died from an accident contributed to by neglect.
