A Manchester City fan collapsed and died after liver damage caused by alcohol abuse made his heart stop.
Roger Nimmo, who had a history of alcohol dependency and seizures, was found collapsed at his home in Highfield Avenue in Blackpool on the afternoon of July 16 of this year. The 43-year-old was taken to Blackpool Victoria Hospital but his prognosis was 'very poor' and he went into cardiac arrest and died.
An inquest held at Blackpool Town Hall on Wednesday (November 2) heard that Roger, a plasterer, had been in hospital two weeks earlier as a result of his alcohol dependency but was discharged with a view to him seeking help from substance abuse organisation Horizon.
