    An inquest into the death of a man who died when London Ambulance Service’s computer system crashed on New Year’s Day has opened.

    Victor Bede, 53, of Edgware Road died after collapsing during the early hours of 1 January.

    Coroner Dr Shirley Radcliffe ruled the cause of death as methamphetamine poisoning.

    Mr Bede was seen staggering around and walking into traffic before falling and banging his head outside the Sainsbury's Local on Queensway.

    A local pub landlord called 999 but emergency services took 48 minutes to arrive due to pressure on call handlers and emergency crews on their busiest night of the year.

    Questions were raised whether Mr Bede could have been saved if an ambulance had arrived at an earlier stage.

    The coroner said that Mr Bede was treated by an advanced paramedic and that there was no cure or treatment for methamphetamine poisoning.

    Dr Radcliffe concluded that all that could have been done was the monitoring and management of the patient.

    Sue Watkins, head of quality assurance at ambulance service apologised to Mr Bede's family and admitted the delays were "unacceptable and regrettable."

    "Victor should have had a response sooner", she said.
