A VERDICT of natural causes was recorded at a Salisbury inquest on an elderly man who died after falling outside his home on Salisbury Plain.
Albert Furminger (92) of Kitchener Road, Amesbury died from intra-cerebral haemorrhage at Salisbury District Hospital on February 7.
He had been taken to hospital a few days before, following a fall in the garden of his bungalow home.
Mr Furminger was found by his son-in-law Robert Edge. He had been called to the bungalow by Mr Furminger's wife, who attended the inquest on Friday in a wheelchair.
Wiltshire coroner David Masters said that, following a post mortem examination, there was no evidence that the fall caused the elderly man's death.
He said he thought that the haemorrhage probably caused the fall and that Mr Furminger's condition worsened afterwards.
