    Philip Lesnes · Prevention of Future Deaths report

    This summary was generated using AI from the published report. Please read the original report for the complete account.

    Report summary

    Philip Lesnes, who was living in a care home and had dementia, was found with denture adhesive gel in his mouth, ears and nose on 23 June 2024. His breathing became laboured, he was taken to hospital, and he died that day; the inquest recorded choking and inhalation of adhesive gel among the medical causes of death. Concerns included the product’s choking risk, its potential use by older people or people with cognitive decline, the need to consider it in care-home risk assessments, and the absence of choking warnings on its packaging or leaflet.
