The coroner's concerns
1. improperly turned off cooker
“There had clearly been instructions given by the family that the deceased was a fire risk and they had agreed with carers they should switch off appliances and remove the cooker knobs, and place them out of reach of the deceased. The cooker had not been properly turned off by the carer before the knobs had been removed.”
