I thought that too! You can imagine the conversation in the newspaper office:

"Yeah, it's wire, isn't it?"

"Mr Thompson's sister, Samantha Hopkins, told an inquest in Newport that her brother was unemployed and had been a heroin addict.
She added: "Although for the past eight months (of his life) he was totally clean.""
