Death By Socialism – A 22 year old who died from dehydration whilst in hospital was so desperate for a drink of water he phoned the police from his bed for help, an inquest has been told.
UK Telegraph – Kane Gorny’s mum Rita Cronin told an inquest into her son’s death that when the police turned up at St George’s Hospital, Tooting, they were turned away by doctors and she was repeatedly ignored by staff when she begged for help for her son.

Giving evidence at the first day of a four-day inquest, she revealed how she received a distressed phone call from her son the day after his operation, in which he revealed he had called the police because he was so desperate for a drink.
The inquest heard Ms Cronin immediately went to the hospital, where Kane was “confused and angry,” shouting at staff and behaving in an uncharacteristic abusive manner.
Despite expressing her concerns that he was not behaving normally, one doctor asked if he was “coming off booze” and another asked if he was “always like this.”
Kane, who had been a keen footballer and runner until he suffered a brain tumour the previous year, was undergoing a routine hip replacement after life-saving steroids he had been given had weakened his bones.

Due to his condition, he needed hormone medication to control fluid levels in his body, but despite repeated reminders by Kane and his family, staff failed to give him the tablets.
He became severely dehydrated but his requests for water were refused and he died on May 28 2009.
After his death, while Kane’s family held his lifeless body, they were asked by a nurse whether they had “finished” and could she “bag him up now,” the hearing at Westminster Coroner’s Court was told.
A coroner had such grave concerns about the case she referred it to the police.
Mrs Cronin told the hearing: “He sounded really, really distressed. He said ‘they won’t give me anything to drink.’
“He also said ‘I’ve called the police.’ He said: ‘I’ve called the police you better get here quickly, they’re all standing around the bed getting their stories straight.’”  (read more)
