Probe as Birmingham man found dead in coffee shop at Sandwell General Hospital

An NHS Trust is investigating after reports claim a man was found slumped dead over a table in a hospital coffee shop.

The Birmingham man, 36, was found dead at a table at Sandwell General Hospital in July.

Reports claim the 36 year-old man may have been dead for more than three hours before anyone was alerted.

He was discovered at the hospital site on July 10, but he had not been seen moving since before 1.30pm.

It has been reported members of the public and NHS staff had continued to use the cafe around the man.

It was a security guard who realised he had not moved for more than three hours but when he attempted to wake him there was no pulse, newspaper reports claim.

Sandwell and West Birmingham NHS Trust said it was looking into the circumstances.

The trust said a coroner had been informed about the man's death.
