In September 2006, Daniel Allright, then 16 years old, was violently attacked by up to five teenagers with one assailant using a bicycle chain in Deptford, south-east London. The attack caused severe brain injuries and internal bleeding requiring surgery to remove part of his skull. On March 26, 2022, Allright died at age 31 from an epileptic seizure while taking a bath, 16 years after the initial assault. One attacker, Jordan Burton, now 33, was found guilty and faces life imprisonment for murder despite the long gap between the attack and Allright's death. Prosecutors argued that Burton’s actions directly caused Allright's epilepsy, leading to his fatal seizure.
