Coroner's 'concerns' over Tesco pay-at-pump petrol after man's tragic death

A coroner has written to Tesco citing 'matters of concern' after the death of a man who set himself on fire with 'pay-at-pump' petrol. Afolabi Ojerinde - who died from 'major burns' - went to an 'unmanned' Tesco petrol station then doused himself in fuel.

Mr Golombeck has now issued a 'prevention of future deaths' report to Tesco ahead of a full inquest into Mr Ojerinde's death being held. The Coroners and Justice Act 2009 gives coroners the opportunity to make reports to a person, organisation, local authority or Government department or agency where they believe action should be taken to prevent future deaths.

Emergency services were called to the Tesco petrol station forecourt on Victoria Avenue East in Blackley at around 7.35pm on Monday, September 4 to reports of concern for the welfare of a man.
