It is with great sadness that we are writing to inform you that David Cooper passed away on Saturday the 28th of June, late in the evening. He had experienced a minor stroke at Easter and been undergoing various tests to establish the cause. On the 19th of June he suffered a serious stroke at home and was rushed to Wexham Park hospital. The stroke left him unable to speak or move, but the life threatening condition was 'aspiration' of the lungs. This was a result of having eaten shortly before the stroke and food entering the lungs during choking.
He remained in intensive care for nine days but was fully conscious and aware of his condition. We spent many hours with him there and he was able to communicate answers to us by blinking. The lung condition, however, continued to deteriorate which ultimately was the cause of death. Funeral details will follow when formalities and arrangements have been finalised. We would appreciate written communication only at this difficult stage. Liz, Sally and John Cooper Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
