Jackie Wyatt, 69, was found dead at his home in Blaenau Ffestiniog by carers last month. An inquest into his death opened in Caernarfon today, where the coroner reported that a suspected fall at his home may have been influenced by injuries sustained in a motorbike accident decades earlier.
Fall at home and hospital transfer
Coroner Kate Robertson, of north west Wales, said Mr Wyatt appeared to have had a fall and sustained frontal bleeding, North Wales Live reports. He was taken to Ysbyty Gwynedd in Bangor, where he was confirmed dead by a doctor at 3.46am on September 26.
Mr Wyatt, of Maes y Plas, Blaenau Ffestiniog, was identified by hospital protocol.
Contribution of old injuries
The coroner said previous injuries from a motorcycle accident many decades previously "appeared to have more than minimally contributed to his death."
A full inquest will be heard at a later date.
