Clitheroe, a former glass cutter, went into Blackburn Royal Infirmary in August for an operation to remove a cancer. Days later he developed pneumonia and there were signs of


septicaemia. Consultant surgeon Mr Lyndon Jones told . , .


'the inquest at Clitheroe on Monday that Mr Bloomfield’s condition was terminal in the


I absence of surgery.

I said Mr Bloomfield had been suffering from severe lung disease and his heart was enlarged. “From the point of view of the operation it


had been entirely successful. Unfortunately, any major surgical procedure produces a whole host of stresses and strains and these are all taken into consideration when considering ' whether to operate or not,” he told the mquest.
