On 01/11/2016 commenced an investigation into the death of Jack Owen Sheldon, 13 The investigation concluded at the end of the inquest on 14 March 2017. The conclusion of the inquest was Accidental death

On the 27lh October 2016 Jack Sheldon was stripping paint off a motorbike he had bought in the shed in the garden of his home with the door closed. The shed filled with petrol vapours and petrol leaked onto objects within the shed. At some point after 20.00 hrs on the 27 the petrol vapours reached a flammable level and reached the naked flame of the candle (being used for light) and flashed and thereafter led to an intense shed fire It was not known that Jack was in the shed until after the fire had been extinguished. Four emergency calls were made to the fire service, the first call led to reservation of an appliance but this was not mobilised as the second call taken had more detailed information leading the operator to mobilise the second allocated appliance, which was in fact the second nearest, leading to a delay of some four minutes in the appliance arriving at the scene. It is unlikely that this would have made a difference to the outcome t0 Jack

In my opinion action should be taken to prevent future deaths and believe you James Courtney have the power to take such action.
