Football legend, Sir Bobby Charlton’s cause of death revealed
Manchester United and England legend Bobby Charlton died after an accidental fall at a care home where he was battling dementia, an inquest heard on Wednesday.
Charlton died at 86 on October 21.
According to Dailymail, Charlton had been living in the nursing home for patients with dementia since 2022, after he was diagnosed with the disease.
A full-body check on Charlton by staff initially showed no visible injuries, but a swelling on his back was soon discovered, and paramedics were called to take him to hospital.
A chest X-ray and CT scan were done, and it was soon discovered that the 86-year-old had fractured his ribs and was likely to develop pneumonia.
Doctors then decided to put Charlton on end-of-life care before his death five days later.
Charlton was survived by his wife, Lady Norma, their two daughters, Suzanne and Andrea, and grandchildren.
