Terry Simpson died more than 20 years ago after falling from | :00:10. | :00:14. | |
But now his family have been told some of his organs were taken away | :00:15. | :00:19. | |
It's emerged the Northumbria and Cleveland Police forces | :00:20. | :00:24. | |
are visiting at least a dozen other families, to tell them they've | :00:25. | :00:28. | |
found tissues belonging to their loved ones. | :00:29. | :00:30. | |
Our correspondent Peter Harris reports. | :00:31. | :00:35. | |
22 years after her dad's death, Sarah Simpson is facing up | :00:36. | :00:39. | |
The police called to say body parts - she says including his brain - | :00:40. | :00:45. | |
We knew the postmortem had been carried out, | :00:46. | :00:53. | |
but we thought he would be fully intact once he was | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
He used to always say, you do not know what parts | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
And we thought we'd done the right thing at the hospital by saying | :01:01. | :01:06. | |
Terry Simpson died here at Newcastle General Hospital in 1995. | :01:07. | :01:13. | |
His organs have subsequently been found at South Tyneside Hospital. | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
Northumbria Police say this is the result of an audit | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
They also say that they are confident the risk of this happening | :01:24. | :01:29. | |
again is low because the rules around which human tissues | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
The police say before new rules came in, some forces kept human tissue | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
They were taken to South Tyneside by a pathologist who covered | :01:37. | :01:43. | |
the North East and kept for what the police now say | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
In a statement, the Human Tissue Authority said... | :01:47. | :02:12. | |
Relatives like Sarah Simpson say all of this has stoked the grief | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
I am going to be putting a complaint into the police, the coroner. | :02:16. | :02:22. | |
Yes, I will go for legal action if they don't get the right answers, | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
or find out what happened. It's for peace of mind, really. | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
Well, earlier I asked Peter how many other families might be in a similar | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
We know Cleveland Police are in the process of contacting 13 | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
families on Teesside that were affected, but we don't know | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
How often was this about the retention of whole body organs, | :02:45. | :02:54. | |
and how often was this simply retention of sample tissues? | :02:55. | :03:02. | |
The police would say it is normal to keep some samples | :03:03. | :03:12. | |
This family we have been speaking to say, as far as they are aware, | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
his death was not suspicious, the verdict was misadventure, | :03:17. | :03:19. | |
as they can't understand why it was necessary | :03:20. | :03:21. | |
A court's heard how a soldier accused of murdering his | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
ex-girlfriend stalked her, before cutting her throat. | :03:25. | :03:26. | |
The prosecution began its case against Lance | :03:27. | :03:27. | |
Corporal Trimaan Dhillon - also known as Harry - | :03:28. | :03:29. | |
The 24-year-old was found in a pool of blood in her bathroom | :03:30. | :03:36. | |
The 26-year-old soldier denies the charge. | :03:37. | :03:42. | |
Lance Corporal Dhillon as a controlling, obsessive | :03:43. | :03:49. | |
and manipulative man who stalked Alice Ruggles in the lead up | :03:50. | :03:51. | |
The court heard they met when he spotted her photo | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
They started an online relationship whilst | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
But when he returned, that relationship quickly soured. | :04:00. | :04:08. | |
His jealous and controlling behaviour damaging | :04:09. | :04:09. | |
The court was told his jealous behaviour was unfounded because it | :04:10. | :04:16. | |
When Alice found out, she ended the relationship. | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
The prosecution said this led to emotional blackmail. | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
He also threatened to put intimate photos of her on the internet. | :04:25. | :04:33. | |
He also hacked her phone and discovered that she was having | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
Lance Corporal Dhillon is alleged to have turned up at her house | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
in the early hours just weeks before her death. | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
She complained again when he failed to stop communicating with her. | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
But she said she did not want him arrested. | :04:48. | :04:53. | |
On the 12th of October last year, it is alleged that the soldier | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
When she arrived home, he broke into the flat | :04:58. | :05:06. | |
Lance Corporal Dhillon denies murder, and the defence is expected | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
to say that he was trying to protect Alice from harming herself. | :05:10. | :05:12. | |
A paramedic called to the scene of a gas explosion in York has told | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
an inquest he thought a plane had crashed there. | :05:18. | :05:19. | |
Paul Willmott was killed in the explosion after a gas pipe | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
The house that was demolished is in the process of being rebuilt. | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
On the 19th of February last year, people living on Springwood, | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
a quiet residential road in York, woke to a catastrophic scene. | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
At around 7:30, number 20, a detached property, | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
was destroyed in what was later confirmed to be a gas explosion. | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
The owner of the house, 63-year-old Paul Wilmott was found | :05:42. | :05:44. | |
Andrew Hewitson, an ambulance paramedic seen on the right, | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
was one of the first emergency workers to arrive. | :05:50. | :05:52. | |
Today, he described a scene of devastation. | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
Mr Hewitson was asked by the coroner at what he saw when he arrived. | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
He said it was evident that one house was completely missing. | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
He says residents looked dazed and confused. | :06:03. | :06:04. | |
He was then asked, what did you think had happened? | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
To that, he replied, I thought a plane had crashed. | :06:08. | :06:09. | |
Paul Wilmott's partner, Olivia Costello, told the jury | :06:10. | :06:16. | |
there had been a strange smell in the house several weeks before. | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
But an ants nest was discovered in the wall and that, | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
they thought, was to blame rather than leaking gas. | :06:25. | :06:26. | |
Drivers on the A1 in North Yorkshire face another six months of delays. | :06:27. | :06:34. | |
The upgrade between Leeming and Barton began in March 2014 | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
and was due to be finished this June. | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
But the contractors say significant archaeological finds have | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
And delays have also been caused by power cables | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
The Prince of Wales has been in Cumbria at the start | :06:50. | :06:55. | |
Prince Charles attended engagements in Barrow, | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
A regular visitor and firm supporter, he still | :06:59. | :07:06. | |
Everyone in the front row had a word with him, you know. | :07:07. | :07:14. | |
It was good. I was quite impressed with him. | :07:15. | :07:17. | |
Treated to a performance of a clog dance, a piece | :07:18. | :07:19. | |
composed in Whitehaven, he is following the Queen Mother | :07:20. | :07:22. | |
and Princess Margaret on the Rosehill royal guest list. | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
He is search a friendly, warm personality. | :07:27. | :07:28. | |
And he really seemed to enjoy the performance. | :07:29. | :07:34. | |
The theatre has been closed since 2015 for extensive refurbishment. | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
This is the first performance since that work has been completed. | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
He was very impressed by the restoration. | :07:44. | :07:45. | |
He said it was very good to see buildings like this | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
He was also very impressed with the association with apprentices. | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
Taking to the stage himself, the prince was presented | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
with an award in recognition of his continued support | :07:59. | :08:00. | |
In sunshine and in rain. LAUGHTER. | :08:01. | :08:10. | |
As you know, will go on doing whatever I can to help. | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
His Royal Highness hopes this visit highlights the importance | :08:15. | :08:19. | |
There was praise for local businesses in Ennerdale, too. | :08:20. | :08:21. | |
Where the Prince celebrated the success of the community hub. | :08:22. | :08:24. | |
Amid the handshaking and plaque unveiling, | :08:25. | :08:25. | |
it is hoped this Royal's love of Cumbria will encourage | :08:26. | :08:27. | |
And Paul's here with the weather for the coming week. | :08:28. | :08:34. | |
Some of us had a mini heat wave, didn't we? | :08:35. | :08:36. | |
Has that all gone now? We saw 21 Celsius, but yes, it is | :08:37. | :08:46. | |
Good evening. Let's cut to the chase the first big holiday weekend of the | :08:47. | :11:16. | |
year is on the horizon and if you consider last weekend as a taster | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
for the summer, this weekend is not looking too bad. It will be a bit | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
cooler, temperatures this week and closer to where they should be at | :11:25. | :11:27. | |
this time of the year thanks to the north-west breed and the reason for | :11:28. | :11:32. | |
that, if we look at the jet stream, coming across the Atlantic pushing | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
from north to south -- north-west breeze. It separates the high | :11:37. | :11:42. | |
pressure and low price and it allows the northerly airflow to develop. It | :11:43. | :11:45. | |
means there will be some showers going into Easter weekend but they | :11:46. | :11:51. | |
will only be a small portion of the weekend wherever you are and there | :11:52. | :11:53. | |
will be some dry weather and when the sun is out, it is getting | :11:54. | :11:59. | |
stronger so it will negate some of the chill. Without | :12:00. | :12:00. |
