That examination suggested the condition was brought on by 'heavily-mould infested accommodation', with pneumonia leading to acute respiratory distress syndrome.
Mr Lever told the court Mr Brooks suffered with breathing difficulties again on October 25. He had a 'fit in his bed' later that day, before he stopped breathing. Mr Brooks was tragically pronounced dead. DI Holmes said the landlord had previously been asked to make improvements and carry out repairs. Asked by Ms Kearsley what those complaints involved, the officer replied: "It was disrepair to the property as opposed to any mould in the property."
"He was a lovely human being. I was lucky to get 27 years with him. He never gave us any trouble. He was a good artist, he couple play the guitar and the piano, he was very talented."
