30-minute delay in raising alarm for devastating fire could have contributed to man s death A 30-minute delay could have contributed to a man dying in a fire in Bucks, an inquest heard this week. Richard Owen, 58, sadly died after a fire broke out in his room at Round Coppice Farm – a multi-occupancy home for people with mental health illnesses in Denham Road, Iver – in the early hours of the morning of April 10, 2019. Beaconsfield Coroner’s Court was told a support worker, who had just started with the company which runs the home for people with low to moderate mental health issues, went to and from his office to the fire panel for almost half an hour before going to check on Mr Owen’s room, where the fire was then found to have started.
