Man found dead in A50 lay-by named

A MAN who died in a Derby lay-by has been named at the opening of the inquest into his death.

Grzegorz Lefelbajn was found seriously injured in a vehicle parked up at the side of the A50, near Chellaston.

Police rushed to the refuge area on the eastbound road between junctions three and two at around 1.40pm on Tuesday, September 15.

Paramedics from East Midlands Ambulance Service were called to the lay-by, but Mr Lefelbajn was pronounced dead at the scene.

An inquest has opened to try to ascertain the circumstances surrounding his death.

Dr Stuart Hamilton conducted a post-mortem exam into Mr Lefelbajn’s death on September 18.

Provisionally, the doctor put the immediate cause to be “incised wounds”. The inquest was then adjourned pending the results of a toxicology report. A review date was set to October 30.

Mr Lefelbajn was born in Poland on January 9, 1985. He lived in Wordsworth Drive, in Sinfin, and worked as a lorry driver.

He was single and his body was identified on September 21 by his brother Cezary.

A DERBY law firm has slammed the city’s hospital trust for leaving a growing number of potential victims in the dark during multiple investigations into alleged wrongdoings.

Last week the University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust said it was widening investigations, along with NHS England, into potential harm caused by one of its former obstetrics and gynaecology consultants.

The investigation will now involve 272 women – all treated by the former Royal Derby Hospital consultant between 2015 and 2018.

Despite repeated requests for the trust to name the consultant involved, including Freedom of Information requests, the organisation refuses to do so.

This includes approaches from law firm Freeths, based in Derby, which has been contacted by a number of women who have received letters from the trust along with some who are concerned they may have been at risk.

The Times claims the name of the consultant involved is Daniel Perry Hay, aged 55, who lives in Alfreton. Mr Hay confirmed to the publication he is the consultant involved in the review.

It says Mr Hay was appointed as a consultant in obstetrics and gynaecology at University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust in 2005 and was associate professor in medical education at Nottingham University.

A search of the GMC (General Medical Council) register shows Mr Hay is still a registered obstetrics and gynaecology specialist.
