A grandfather who died after getting trapped in a scalding hot hotel room bath may have lived had the old taps been replaced, an inquiry has found.
Wallace Hunter, 75, was staying at the Pitlochry Hydro in Perthshire, Scotland when he became stuck in the tub.
Guests and emergency services desperately tried to smash in the door but were unable to open it in time as it was bolted from the inside and opened outwards.
The pensioner was eventually found lying unresponsive in the bath with water running that was so hot firefighters and police had to wear gloves to get him out.
He died from third degree burns to 83 per cent of his body.
