It was never established that he was actually beaten up, the possibility was that perhaps he was drunk and fell into the road and a taxi ran over him, that was another theory. When he was first taken to hospital he was brain damaged but able to communicate, my OH talked to him. He was transferred to another hospital, where they inserted a tube wrongly into his head this caused more damage, in all he had 10 ops, in the end unable to speak. When they were asked to send reports to the barrister they delayed and delayed sending results. They knew he had MRSA. That caused the suspicion to escalate. The day before he died he was vomiting quite badly. Nothing has been straightforward, we are all separated by distance which makes things difficult. Now his family will shortly go to see the Hospice staff to thank them and arrange for his ashes to be sent to them. They are resigned to the fact that they have lost him and that there is nothing they can do.
