Man dies after getting vibrator stuck up his anus and waiting too long to get medical attention

A 50-year-old man died after he got a vibrator stuck up his anus and

left it too long to seek medical attention because he was embarrassed,

an inquest has been told.

Southwark Coroners' Court heard it took Nigel Willis five days to

muster the courage to get help after accidentally lodging a dildo

inside himself last year.

Mr Willis, who lived in Forest Hill with his mother, was taken to

Lewisham hospital in December but succumbed to his injuries in

February this year despite having the vibrator removed.

The sex object had pierced his bowel, which led him to suffer septic shock.

'The history was that his friend or carer called an ambulance because

he complained of dizziness, weakness and was unable to move from the

sofa for five days,' said Dr Adebowale Adesina, who works as a

consultant at the south-east London hospital.

Mr Willis, who didn't have a job and was single, cared for his elderly

mother with the help of his neighbour.
