I just don't understand how one person can treat a grieving family like this.
Wally went from a strong fit person to a shadow of himself, in weeks. He was told (we were all there and saw the scan's) that he had cancer, a mass on his left lung, that it was aggressive and terminal, with no cure, but Chemotherapy might slow tumour's growth.
Following his chemo, he caught pneumonia and died.
The post mortem was on Tuesday and in the afternoon I received a phone call to say he had died of natural causes (pneumonia) and that the PM showed no signs of cancer.
I cannot express my reaction to these findings.
Were all the consultants and doctors at four different hospitals wrong, if so, they were responsible for giving him the chemo which killed him?
That could not be true because we saw the cancer. After quite a lengthy phone call it was decided the only conclusion was, that they had performed the PM on the wrong person and I had to go to QEQM the next morning to ID Wally.
It was Wally, so my question was, where had his tumour gone?
Amongst other feeble offerings, I even got the miracle theory thrown in.
Even after several of his doctors expressing their concerns at this decision she, the coroner, refused to put cancer on the death certificate.
She won't even allow us an inquest.

That is worse than I can imagine Gary. It almost smacks of a conspiracy, but if so, why ?
Is that the end of the matter ? Is there nothing you can do ?

that is hideous. Sadly, at best you will get an apology but very little else I fear. This type of thing is replicated across the country. Even if you went to the media it would all blow over and go back to the way it is.
My sympathies to you and all concerned with this case.

Wally's wife and family were devastated when I told them, they still cannot comprehend what is going on.
His solicitor has had to drop the case because she put only one word on the death certificate "pnuemonia"

Mark.
I fear you are right and after many conversations, I very much doubt if we will even get an apology.

A horrendous story Gary, I can only imagine how distraught the family must feel over this. It smacks of closing ranks and a covering backs to me.

Gary,twenty five years ago at my father's inquest they said that had died of mesolathemia.And though the asbestos platelets were present the powers that be said that this was just a contributing factor to his death.It just makes me sad that this scandal continues.

I have just wrote a letter to a solicitor. I doubt if i will get anywhere but I am not giving up without a fight.
