'He was a fighter till the end' - family's heartbreaking tribute to loving dad who died in Christmas Eve tragedy
The family of a loving father who died on Christmas Eve have paid a heartbreaking tribute to him following an inquest into his death.
District nurses managed his condition, which involved wounds being dressed. In one incident, a nurse applied a compression bandage on the affected leg — but after doing so, checked his medical notes and realised that the usually-standard treatment was inappropriate for Mr Cocker, due to his high blood pressure.
The operation to amputate his left leg below the knee took place on August 23, 2022, but his stump became infected after the procedure. However, there was a delay in putting Mr Cocker back on the thinners for 11 days after the operation, it was found.
