A teenager has died after suffering a severe head injury when he was just one month old, an inquest heard. Joshua-Lee Morgan died aged 16 years old at the Rainbows Hospice for Children and Young People in Loughborough, where he received end of life care.
An inquest held at the Nottingham Council House on Wednesday, September 28, found that his death on August 24 was a direct consequence of a severe head injury he suffered in his early life. Joshua was born on December 4, 2005, and was cared for by the local authorities since he was a baby, the inquest heard.
Opening the inquest touching on Joshua's death, Assistant Coroner Gordon Clow told the hearing: "This is an unusual inquest. Joshua was sadly a victim of a non-accidental head injury when he was approximately one month of age."
