Mr Caplan fell down the stairs whilst babysitting. He visited hospital but was sent home with painkillers. A few days later he was sent to a different hospital which also failed to notice the broken vertebrae in his spine. A scan eventually reveal the injury 3 days later but sadly Mr Caplan's injuries were too severe and he passed away in agony.
Mr Caplan died four years ago. An inquest heard this week that although he was seen by three doctors, one of them a radiologist, no one asked about his spondylitis, a long-term spinal condition that made him vulnerable to back injuries.
The family said they will be seeking compensation for his ordeal.
