Oswestry canal death inquest adjourned after police fail to follow inquiry
Thursday 27th May 2010, 11:21AM BST.
He suggested somebody might have called his brother on his mobile phone and he had fallen in the canal after becoming distracted.
Mr Tuffin said he had contacted mobile firm company O2 asking for his brother’s telephone records on the night he died but was told only the police could make that inquiry.
Constable James Nicholson, from Oswestry Police Station, said the line had not been followed because it was felt the death was not suspicious.
Mid and North Shropshire coroner John Ellery ordered the inquiry to be carried out, saying a potentially important question had been “left unanswered”.
The inquest was told Mr Tuffin was last seen alive at about 11pm on December 6 as he left the Queen’s Head pub after drinking four pints of strong bitter.
Mr Ellery said the mobile phone inquiry might narrow down the time of death.
The inquest was adjourned for a date to be fixed.
