Berin Andrew Johnston, 39, was found dead at his Clifton Terrace home on June 13. An inquest heard that he had suffered mental health issues since being diagnosed with depression in 2004 – after abused in his younger years. The nature of this abuse was not discussed at Winchester Coroner s Court. This was worsened by the death of both of his parents in recent years. Caroline Holiday, a friend of Mr Johnston, said in a statement: I knew he was depressed and exhausted from living in London and the death of his mum and dad. He said he was abused in his younger years. When lockdown started he was strict with the rules but we eventually started going on socially distanced walks and he seemed okay.
Sydney George Chapman, 75, was pronounced dead at Winchester hospital on June 22, an inquest heard. He had been recovering after undergoing an ERCP in Basingstoke six days before. This left Mr Chapman with pancreatitis – despite there only being a 5 per cent risk of the procedure causing this. Dr Michael Reynolds who performed the ERCP on Mr Chapman told Winchester Coroner s Court: Mr Chapman had a difficult diagnosis. He was seen in Winchester in February after reporting abdominal pain. He had scans which showed the drainage system of the liver but it wasn t clear what was going on, so we decided to do the ERCP.
