Steve Dymond, 63, was found dead at his home in Portsmouth, Hampshire, in May 2019 - seven days after failing a lie detector test during filming for The Jeremy Kyle Show.
Jeremy Kyle has defended his chat show during the inquest into the death of a man who died after filming an episode. It came as the court was also shown clips from the unaired show for the first time. Steve Dymond, 63, was found dead at his home in Portsmouth, Hampshire, in May 2019, seven days after taking part in the show. A coroner found he had died of a combination of a morphine overdose and left ventricular hypertrophy in his heart.
Video clips from the unaired show were played to the court, showing Mr Dymond being advised about the processes of the lie detector test. In the video, Mr Dymond asked the polygraph examiner, who was contracted by ITV to carry out the procedure, whether the test is '99.9% accurate', to which the examiner replied: 'They are 95% accurate' with a 'narrow risk of error'. The examiner also advised Mr Dymond that 'if you fail one question, you fail the lot'.
