Daniel Hardcastle claimed his son collapsed after running into a coffee table

A pathologist told a jury the 'scene did not match the story' of a dad accused of murdering his two-year-old son.

Damion was rushed to Blackpool Victoria Hospital on the morning of August 19, 2023, after his dad called 999 and reported he had collapsed. The little boy had gone into respiratory and cardiac arrest and was on life support when he was transferred to Manchester Children's Hospital the same day.Hardcastle, who was at the flat when emergency services arrived, was arrested on suspicion of GBH. After Damion died, two days later, he was rearrested on suspicion of murder - which he denies.

Hardcastle was the sole carer of Damion after the baby had gone into the care system. Damion had lived with foster parents but Hardcastle fought through the family courts to take on the care of his son.
