Detective Sergeant Stephen Vaughan stated there was no indication of foul play or suicide, categorizing the event as an unexplained death.
A detailed examination of the scene showed that the freezer drawer had been left open, with two uncooked burgers, a knife, and a tea towel on the kitchen counter.
It is believed that the accident occurred when Griffiths, who had restricted use of one arm due to a stroke, attempted to separate the frozen burgers with a knife, resulting in the fatal wound.
The case serves as a reminder for individuals to exercise caution in everyday tasks and to avoid being too secretive in their private lives.
Accessible help and open communication can prevent such tragic accidents from going unnoticed.
Public safety campaigns could also play a role in educating people about preventing accidents like this and ensuring lives are not needlessly cut short.
