An inquest has found Homerton Hospital and a GP practice failed to change an 87-year-old s indwelling catheter for almost a year, leading to his death.
Macaulay Wilson died in September last year, leading to an investigation being launched by senior coroner Mary Hassell, from St Pancras Coroner’s Court, on October 8.
In a prevention of future deaths report, published at the conclusion of the inquest on on May 7, Ms Hassell wrote: Mr Wilson died because a failure to change his indwelling catheter for almost a year caused urosepsis. The catheter should have been changed every 12 weeks.
An inquest has opened into the death of Angela Best - the third victim of serial killer Theodore Johnson- who was killed in Dartmouth Park Hill, Tufnell park.
Johnson repeatedly lied to authorities who were monitoring him in the community.
In 1981, he was was found guilty by reason of “provocation” of killing his wife Yvonne Johnson by pushing her off the ninth-floor balcony of their home in Wolverhampton.
Then, in 1993, a couple of years before meeting Ms Best, he was convicted of strangling his common law wife Yvonne Bennett with a belt at their home in London, before trying to hang himself.
The prosecution accepted his responsibility was diminished due to depression and a personality disorder and he was handed a hospital order with restrictions at the Old Bailey.
