Swindon man died at GWH after complications from bowel surgery

June 3, 2023

A 41-year-old Swindon man died after suddenly developing unexpected complications following an elective bowel surgery. David Long seemed to be recovering well from an operation at Great Western Hospital last March but was re-admitted just 12 hours later in severe pain. An inquest held at Swindon and Wiltshire Coroner's Court on Friday morning determined the cause of the 41-year-old's untimely death. The inquest heard that, despite undergoing an emergency procedure and receiving appropriate medical care and antibiotics after returning to the hospital, Mr Long died there at around 7 am on March 16, 2022. Doctors' reports noted that he had "suffered a rapid and profound deterioration" and had "an unusually profound negative response to these complications". Surgeons found that his bowel was leaking into his abdomen and promptly carried out a laporotomy to repair the leak and empty the affected area, but Mr Long did not fully recover from the operation. “At postmortem, David was found also to have dilated cardiomyopathy which would have reduced physiological reserve and more likely than not contributed to his death."

KILKENNY

Kilkenny - There is a sense of shock in Kilkenny City following the sudden death of Seamus Rafter, College Square, Kilkenny City and the Sceilp Inn, Kilkenny. He passed away on June 2 unexpectedly, at St Vincent's Hospital. A passionate supporter of hurling at all age levels and knowledgeable about sport, he was a welcoming and fun presence in the Sceilp over many years. He always had a joke and a kind word, and took the time to chat to everyone.  Due to the untimely death of Seamus, and as mark of respect to the Rafter family, the Billy Walton blitz was called off on Saturday, June 3. "As a club we extend our condolences to the Rafter family," said a message from James Stephens GAA.

No cause of death reported.
