This happened in the same week as the sentencing of convicted paedophile Colin Robertson, of Begbroke, at Oxford Crown Court on Friday, April 17.

He was handed a two-year prison sentence, suspended for two years.

Held on April 15 at Oxfordshire Coroner’s Court, the inquest into Benjamin Mander found that he likely died following the “toxic effects” of the drugs which then resulted in a “hypoxic brain injury”.

A hypoxic brain injury is caused by a partial lack of oxygen to the brain.

He was a health care assistant residing in Witney and according to the coroner’s report and had a history of mental health issues and drug and alcohol issues.

The fire service advised residents to close their windows and doors at around 12.50am on Wednesday, April 22, due to the developing smoke plume and its associated smell.

Damping down is still ongoing, with a fire engine remaining on the scene to support this.

It is unknown how long the engine will remain at the site and whether the site is open.

The 290.5ha landfill site opened in 1980 and takes in 350,000 tonnes of waste per annum as well as 60,000 tonnes per annum in quarry back fill, plus soils.
