At the recent inquest touching the death of Steve Dymond, HM Area Coroner Jason Pegg concluded there was no clear and reliable causal connection between Mr Dymond’s unfortunate death and his recent appearance on the ITV Jeremy Kyle Show. It was concluded that whilst “possible” the experience added to his distress it was not “probable”, reiterating the often-nuanced complexities of causation in the Coroner’s court.
