The parents of a man found dead on a trolley in an emergency department have spoken of their pain after hearing how he died alone never having seen a doctor.

The solicitor for the family of a man who died on a hospital trolley having presented as a "very urgent" case says they are devastated by what happened.

A patient deemed to be a "very urgent" case after being rushed to an overcrowded emergency department was not seen by a doctor until he was found dead on a trolley over three hours after he was admitted, an inquest has heard.
