Alois Dvorzak and his wife
Immigration officers told an inquest jury yesterday how a “frail”, “vulnerable” and “confused” Canadian man was held overnight at Gatwick Airport in January 2013 days before he died. Alois Dvorzak, 84, was trying to visit his daughter in Slovenia when he changed flights in London.
Senior Coroner Chinyere Inyama told the jury at West London Coroner’s Court: “This case revolves around Mr Dvorzak’s travel from Canada and arriving in this country. He became unwell and was admitted to hospital several times. On the third time he died.”
