It is not known how the tube connecting James Johnson's oxygen mask to the supply was disconnected.
A former teacher's death was "hastened" after the oxygen tube to his mask became disconnected while he was in hospital, an inquest has heard.
At the time of his death from Covid pneumonia, Mr Johnson, of Ffordd Elfed in Wrexham, was declining and palliative care had already been discussed. A subsequent investigation could not establish how this happened, though it was speculated it could have been leaned on by Mr Johnson when he moved in bed, but there was no evidence to support this.A medical engineer who examined the equipment thought the force required to pull the tube out deliberately would not have been possible, considering how ill he was.
Coroner for North Wales, East and Central, John Gittins, said that at the time of Mr Johnson's death "this was an organisation working under enormous pressure" and staff were "doing the best they could".
