Regret the Error

WE were wrong to report that Sam Griffiths was drunk when he was electrocuted running across railway tracks at Burgess Hill, West Sussex, in the early hours of New Year’s Day, or that he had drunk five cans of beer. The coroner at his inquest concluded that Sam and his friends were “merry as you might expect . . . but not the worse for wear from drink”. We apologise for any distress caused to his family and friends (Page 23, early editions only, March 26). Link
