Robert Byrd
In an article published on March 2 headlined ‘Double life of the addict who took 10 times fatal drug dose’ we incorrectly stated in the strapline that Robert Byrd’s death had been blamed on a “lethal strain of heroin that has already claimed three lives”.
This was not in the Coroner’s report, neither was it discussed at the inquest.
In fact, this was a suggestion made by Edward Kellman. We have been asked by the Byrd family to correct this, and also to point out that Mr Kellman did not attend the inquest, neither was he Mr Byrd’s drug counsellor.
Moreover, Mr Byrd did not lead a double life as his family and friends were aware of his troubles and his fight to be free of drugs.
We regret the distress this publication has caused and apologise unreservedly to the Byrd family. |
