A 111-year-old tripped and fell in his own home weeks before he died, an inquest heart.
One of the oldest residents in Wirral, Siu Kiu Chau, of Cumberland Avenue in Prenton was rushed to hospital following an unwitnessed fall on April 21 this year. But after complications, his health deteriorated and the retired grocery store owner died at Arrowe Park Hospital on May 18.
An inquest was held into his death at the Gerard Majella Courthouse where it was heard the 111-year-old had been born in Hong Kong on December 8, 1911. Area coroner Anita Bhardwaj said he was a man who had a "number of comorbidities including heart failure".
