The
Wakefield Express 7.2.12 has reported that the inquest into the death of pensioner Henry Dix who died on 22nd January 2012 after suffering from smoke inhalation after a fire broke out at his home in Sharlston has opened and been adjourned. The inquest heard the fire was thought to be caused by an electrical fault in a fridge-freezer.
Faulty fridge freezers have been implicated as the cause of a number of house fires in the last two years, with the
London Fire Brigade saying that a fire in London in June 2011 was caused by a Beko appliance.
