[QUOTE="Englishboy, post: 327638, member: 70"] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-merseyside-61644584[/URL] [B]Actor Andy Devine died as a result of "hospital-acquired pneumonia" after a fall, a coroner has concluded.[/B] The 79-year-old, who played Shadrach Dingle in Emmerdale for 10 years, died in Southport Hospital in January. The soap star had fallen and lain on the floor for about a hour as he was "unable to get up until his carers arrived", Sefton Senior Coroner Julie Goulding said. She said his condition went on to deteriorate "culminating in his death". Devine made his Emmerdale debut as Shadrach Dingle, the father of Chas and husband of Faith, in 2000. He made a dramatic exit from the ITV show ten years later when his character was killed off as part of an alcohol abuse storyline. Emmerdale was not his first soap, as he had previously played a photographer in Coronation Street, while he also appeared in Queer As Folk, Where The Heart Is, Cracker and Prime Suspect. One of his earliest roles was as a Draconian Guard in Doctor Who in the 1970s. [/QUOTE]
