14/07/2026 15/07/2026 JONES, David Peter David JONES died on the 10th July 2025 at St John's Hospice in Lancaster from ischaemic cholangiopathy, a rare complication arising following a pancreaticoduodenectomy undertaken on 15th October 2024 to remove a tumour of the ampulla vater. On the 17th October 2024 Mr JONES was taken back to theatre due to concerns raised on a CT scan showing loss of contrast in the common hepatic artery coupled with clinical deterioration. The reduced arterial supply at the common hepatic artery was not recognised during that procedure. Mr JONES then experienced a number of complications relating to this in the months that followed and in April 2025 was diagnosed with ischaemic cholangiopathy caused by the reduced arterial blood supply. It is not possible to determine the exact cause of the reduced arterial blood supply save that it relates to his original Whipple's surgery. It was not possible to reverse the effects of the ischaemic cholangiopathy and Mr JONES' care was orientated to palliation.
