Stephen Matthew Jones, 38, collapsed outside the McDonalds in Regent Street, Wrexham, the inquest heard. Im age Google StreetView A CORONER has adjourned an inquest into a man who died outside the McDonalds restaurant in Wrexham after his mother disclosed that he might have had a genetic heart problem. Stephen Matthew Jones, 38, died on December 14, 2019, but an inquest in Ruthin heard how he had attended the Wrexham Maelor Hospital three times in the previous 24 hours, but discharged himself. Mr Jones, of Alson Street, Penley, had had a drink problem for many years and his mother Mrs Susan Lee told the hearing that he was a binge drinker who would drink until he fell asleep.

IF THERE S one thing that Echuca s Joanna Lee takes with her around the world it s her roller blades.
Whether she s in her home country of Poland, Spain or here in Australia, she loves going for a spin on eight wheels.
But this love of a seemingly dying craze of the 1930s and 1970s didn t begin when she was a child.
“I remember I had moved to Madrid in 2005 and my friend introduced me to the skates,” Mrs Lee said.
“It was just for fun and we would skate around the city almost every day, I was definitely hooked from then.”

This was in the late 1960s and the 1970s. The restaurant was run by Mr and Mrs Lee and he was Chinese and his wife English.

A woman described as lovely and incredible has celebrated her 100th birthday.
Edith Lee, from Colchester, reached the landmark on Saturday. She received a message of congratulations from The Queen.
Covid-19 restrictions, however, meant that celebrations were very low key but it is intended that later in the year her family and residents of Kendall Terrace almshouses, where she lives, will be able to have a party.
Mrs Lee has two sons, Michael who is 77 and lives in Colchester, and Howard, 75, in Portsmouth. Her daughter Beverley, 67, lives in Cape Town, South Africa, where for many years Mrs Lee had flown to stay for Christmas - although sadly she was not able to last month because of Covid-19. She has seven grandchildren.
And one Councillor called for Council bosses to hold an urgent review of the facility s costs. The eye watering rent costs that the Council pays for the City Park library emerged last year during a debate on a planned shake up of the library service. The city centre library moved into the unit, overlooking the mirror pool, in 2013. It was previously based in what is now Margaret Macmillan Tower, but that building was condemned as a fire risk in 2011 and was dealt a further blow in 2013 when asbestos was found throughout the building. The old library has since been refurbished and is home to the Council s Children s Services department.
