Sir Bobby Charlton tragically passed away following an accidental fall at a care home.
The Manchester United legend died aged 86 last month following a battle with dementia. He is regarded as one of English football's greatest ever players after winning the World Cup, European Cup, Ballon d'Or and three league titles, among other honours. An inquest was held to distinguish Charlton's cause of death.
The England hero suffered an accidental fall at the Willows care home in Knutsford and was declared dead at Macclesfield Hospital on Saturday, October 21 - the court heard.
The inquest heard that Charlton lost his balance as he stood up from his chair and hit a windowsill.
He may have also struck a radiator during the fall. Staff at the Willows performed a full body check after the fall and didn't find any visible injuries. According to the inquest, Charlton was taken to hospital after staff noticed swelling on his back.
Tests confirmed that he had fractured his ribs in the fall and was put on end-of-life care amid fears of developing pneumonia. He sadly passed away five days later. His death was announced in October when his family released a statement, which read: "It is with great sadness that we share the news that Sir Bobby passed peacefully in the early hours of Saturday morning.
