Coroner discovers Hospital neglet causes mans death - insane - 07-17-2012 He died from dehydration wtf I guess this kind of stuff happens all the time but here's what happened Kane Gorny, 22, called police in desperation after being denied lifesaving fluids. But an inquest heard that staff at St George’s hospital in Tooting, South London, simply turned them away and sedated him. Kane then died of thirst and, after a five-day inquest, deputy coroner Dr Shirley Radcliffe said he had been “undoubtedly let down by incompetence of staff, poor communication, a lack of leadership both medical and nursing, a culture of assumption, assuming others will do what you haven’t done or haven’t made explicitly clear needs to be done.” Delivering a verdict that he died of neglect at the hands of medical staff, Dr Radcliffe told London’s Westminster coroner’s court that Kane’s death was caused by “a collective failure by a number of individuals, both medical and nursing.” Kane had been admitted to the hospital for a routine hip operation but his medical condition was complicated by a brain tumour he had suffered the previous year. It meant that his fluid intake had to be strictly monitored but he was left without water and his desperate pleas for help were ignored.
