A soldier from Bath who collapsed while on SAS selection training on the Brecon Beacons died from multiple organ failure a hearing has been told.
Cpl James Dunsby, who was 31, was one of three soldiers who died during the training exercise last month.
The three died during the intense July heatwave that much of the country received.
The Aberdare hearing was told that the Human Rights Act would play an ‘important part’ in the investigation into why Dunsby and the two others died.
During the investigation, the hearing was told that following the post mortem investigation Cpl Dunsby, who was a reserve, died from ‘multiple organ failure’ two weeks later in hospital.
Four soldiers had already collapsed and L/Cpl Craig Roberts had already died when paramedics were called to assist Cpl Dunsby. When he arrived in hospital, he was in a critical condition and put on life support.
He was later transferred to Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham where he died on 30th July.
The hearing has been adjourned until September.
