'He had the desire to change but I think because the lifestyle was so long standing, it was just too big a mountain to climb'
A homeless man who lived a ‘chaotic life’ died aged 51 after suffering a tear to his oesophagus. Wayne Moran's long-term use of class A drugs is 'likely' to have contributed to his death, an inquest heard.
Throughout the years, he suffered a number of health problems, including chronic kidney disease and hepatitis C - which led to him losing his right eye. In May of this year, he was admitted to hospital after complaining of neck pain and was diagnosed with an epidural abscess, for which he was given antibiotics and kept in for observation.
Dr Gopalakrishnan Deivasikamani, from Royal Bolton Hospital, told the inquest that he reviewed Wayne on June 22, two days before his death. He said that Wayne was “stable” and that his Early Warning Score was zero. However, in the early hours of June 24, Wayne deteriorated “very quickly” and vomited twice at around 2am. He was pronounced dead at 4.01am.
Area coroner Prof Dr Alan Walsh asked whether, on the balance of probabilities, Wayne’s previous drug use contributed to the tear that caused the haemorrhage. Dr Sawant agreed that this was likely to be the case, with Wayne’s hepatitis C and epidural abscess also given as contributory factors.
