Retired Worker's Birthday Tragedy

0:00On April 2nd, a 79-year-old retired parcel delivery worker from Smithwick, named Keith Walker was found dead on his birthday right in his home on the Uplands. He had a bunch of health issues like heart disease, high blood pressure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and liver problems, which all played into his passing. His stepdaughter called to wish him happy birthday around 9.54am, but he didn't pick up and when he missed a midday meetup with friends. She headed over and found him at 2.20pm, unresponsive on the stairs with the head injury, hunched against the wall. She noted he'd been having trouble with his legs since a garden fall last year that messed up his knee. At the black country corner's court in Oldbury, the corner gave a narrative conclusion, saying the sequence of the fall was unclear, could have been, spontaneous or from trauma and listed heart disease, a brain bleed, and high blood pressure as the causes extending condolences to his family.
