Actor Timothy West Dies Aged 90 After Fall, Inquest Confirms

News summary

Timothy West, the respected British actor known for roles in EastEnders, Coronation Street, Brass, and Not Going Out, died peacefully at age 90 in a care home under palliative care following a significant traumatic brain injury caused by an unwitnessed fall near his home. After being hospitalized for about three months, he was discharged to Wandsworth Common Care Home where he passed away surrounded by family. An inquest revealed no evidence of others being involved in the fall, and despite receiving appropriate care, he was not well enough to return home.

His family expressed their gratitude for the NHS staff who cared for him during his final days and said they would miss him terribly. The inquest and statements from care home staff confirmed that West died peacefully with his family present.
