Cause of death changed at Calne silo inquest
A pathologist has changed her cause of death in the inquest into the death
of Paul Sharp, who died in Calne two years ago.
It was initially thought Mr Sharp, 31, from Lincolnshire, died from
asphyixia after working inside a silo for contractors Silocare on the Forte
Marsh industrial estate in August 2006.
But Janette Armstrong, pathologist at the Great Western Hospital, also
discovered a mild heart problem called right ventricle displacia syndrome, a
small build up of fat in the right ventricle, which she believes could have
also contributed to Mr Smith's death.

I hope it doesn't usually take 2 years (AFTER an unfortunate death) to discover that someone has a mild (but life threatening) heart condition.
Is there not a test that can be done to detect this on the living?
My belated condolences to the familly.
