Inquest into death of teenager at Oxfordshire care unit

An inquest into the death of a teenager at an Oxfordshire care unit has today been hearing evidence from the nurse in charge of caring for him.

Connor Sparrowhawk, who was 18 and had learning disabilities and autism, drowned in a bath at Slade House in Headington in July 2013.

The NHS trust in charge initially said his death was due to 'natural causes'.

But an independent report later found it 'was preventable' and the trust "failed significantly" in his care.

From Oxford coroner's court, Kate Bunkall reports.
