Dr Kim Harrison, a renowned chest consultant, was beaten to death by his son Daniel Harrison at their family home in Swansea in March 2022.
A retired doctor was beaten to death by his own son who absconded from a hospital's mental health facility following a number of health board failures, a coroner has ruled.
An inquest into the death of Dr Harrison, which concluded on Tuesday, 16 April, was told how Daniel Harrison escaped from Neath Port Talbot Hospital by pushing past a nurse at a security door, ordering a taxi and then returning to the family home, where he killed his father. "Our family could not have done more to seek help for Dan's deteriorating mental health from senior psychologists, social workers and managers.
"Throughout the inquest, staff have sought to give the impression that it was Dan's fault for not engaging with mental health services, leading to a recurrence of his psychosis and the tragic events that unfolded. "We miss Kim every day. We continue to give Dan our love and support as he steadily recovers, though this is a long and difficult journey.
