George Napper, 90, left a window and died at his home in Roseedale Road, Dagenham.
An investigation was opened in his death at the East London Forener’s Court, Walthamstow, on Tuesday, April 22.
Death was sent to the coroner by the Metropolitan Police Service, since it was not natural but not suspicious.
“It was reported that Mr. Napper took a cigarette and then climbed the stairs and it was observed that he leaned off the window of the second bedroom on the first floor, which dominates the rear garden,” said the forensic Graeme Irvine.
“It would be an apple that family members were in the garden.”
They had reported that Mr. Napper was “observing some construction works that were being done on the property of a neighbor.”
“The family then saw Mr. Napper fall,” Irvine told court. “Hey, unfortunately he fell out the window.”
It was called the London ambulance service, but declared that Mr. Napper dead in the scene at 10.20 am on April 4.
His cause of death has occurred as “multiple serious traumatic injuries.”
“It seems to me that, given the circumstances of this death report, an investigation must be opened to determine how Mr. Napper arrived for these fatal and traumatic injuries,” said Mr. Irvine.
Investigations are heroes in the public interest to investigate deaths due to antinatural causes and if future similar deaths could be avoidable.
He declared Mr. Napper’s family to interested persons, a legal status that entitles them to see evidence before the final investigation and the question that any witness called to give evidence.
He asked them to supply “a detailed chronology of the events of April 4” and “whether or not to shed any light on what caused the fall itself.”
The final research was scheduled for October.
