A man fatally injured himself while attempting to separate frozen burgers with a knife.

Barry Griffiths was a 57-year-old man who lived alone in his supported accommodation flat in Llandrindod Wells, Wales. He had restricted use of one arm due to a previous stroke. Sadly, he was found dead in his home after accidentally stabbing himself in the stomach while trying to separate two frozen burgers with a kitchen knife. It was a tragic and unexpected accident that took his life.

According to Detective Chief Inspector Jonathan Rees, his body was not discovered for several days. When he was eventually found, he was fully clothed on his bed. There was a trail of blood in the hallway, bathroom and bedroom, indicating that he had been injured while moving around the house. It was a heartbreaking scene for those who found him.

The investigation into his death revealed that Barry had been trying to access food items from the bottom drawer of his freezer. However, the drawer had been left open and pulled forward, making it difficult for him to reach the items. On the kitchen work surface, there were two uncooked burgers, a knife, and a tea towel. The height of the wound on Barry's abdomen suggested that he had been attempting to use the knife to separate the frozen burgers, but unfortunately, it resulted in a fatal injury.

Barry's welfare had been a cause for concern when he had not been seen for over a week. Detective Sergeant Stephen Vaughan confirmed that his death was not a suicide, but rather an unexplained death. There was no evidence to suggest that he had been assaulted. After careful consideration of all the evidence, area coroner Patricia Morgan concluded that Barry most likely died from an accident while preparing frozen food for cooking.

The circumstances surrounding Barry's death were difficult for everyone involved in the investigation. The inquest was a traumatic experience, and the coroner expressed her condolences to his loved ones. It was a tragic accident that took the life of a man who was simply trying to prepare a meal for himself. Barry will be remembered and missed by those who knew him.
