A disabled man choked to death on a marshmallow despite his sister scolding care home staff after finding an open packet of the sweets in his room.

Patrick Casey's sister "flipped out" at staff at his carers at the London care home in the weeks before his death, an inquest heard.

Her 41-year-old brother was on a strict pureed diet when he choked on the soft sweet on April 5, 2019. He was rushed to the emergency department at Barnet hospital but was unable to be saved, North London Coroner's Court heard on Friday.

Birmingham-born Mr Casey had been a resident at the Priory Group-run care home Devon House in north London since 2014. He used a wheelchair after suffering a serious brain injury when he was struck by a car in 2005.
