A "respected and loved" son fell to his death outside a nightclub in Cardiff as he scaled a fire escape. Alfie Woollett, a 21-year-old Cardiff Met student from Looe in Cornwall, died after hitting his head on March 4 last year having tried to climb a fire escape at Kings at Church Place, an inquest has heard.
An inquest into Mr Woollett’s death at Pontypridd Coroners’ Court heard how Mr Woollett had attended a fancy dress party at the club and had been asked to leave the venue by security due to “intoxication”. But after leaving Kings Mr Woollett then tried to get back into the club by climbing over a fire escape at the rear of the premises.
Mr Woollett, who was born in Medway in Kent, lost his footing and fell, sustaining traumatic injuries to his head and dying at the scene. Results of a toxicological report stated that Mr Woollett was more than four times above the legal drink-drive limit at the time of his death. The coroner said that was "a level which in itself can be fatal".
