A 102-year-old man with dementia who was allegedly pushed at a Cwmbran pub died nearly two weeks later, an inquest has heard.

Philip Ormerod, from Cwmbran, Torfaen, was taken to hospital in a critical condition following an incident at the Crows Nest pub in the town on 1 August.

He is understood to have been visiting the pub for a drink when he went on to a stage in the venue to complain about the volume of the music.

A 56-year-old man from Llanelli, Carmarthenshire, was arrested on suspicion of inflicting grievous bodily harm, and remains on bail under investigation.

The senior coroner Caroline Saunders said the former design engineer "sustained a fall at the pub", adding that it happened "following an allegation that he was pushed".
