Coroner’s Concerns
1. Mohan Singh Hothi died in hospital on 28th March 2025 due to injuries sustained in a fall at home in the early hours of the morning. During a previous hospital admission beginning in February 2025 and concluding on 20th March 2025 Mr Hothi sustained injuries in two separate unwitnessed falls, these injuries were serious (one requiring surgery) but could not be said to have contributed to his death. The two separate incidents were not assessed by the Trust as worthy of investigation through the Patient Safety Framework. This omission gives rise to a concern that future deaths may follow due to an inability on the part of the trust to identify, reflect upon, and remediate sub-optimal practice.
2. Evidence provided by the Trust at inquest to identify that reflection and remediation had been undertaken was vague and incomplete
