His bicycle, Kinesis Racelight TK2, had a bonding failure between two parts - the fork crown and the steerer tube.
Think that the local paper got this wrong. See the quote from the coroner's narrative verdict:

Coroner Caroline Beasley-Murray said: “Jonathan Weatherley probably applied braking through his front brakes for an unknown reason. “This caused the bonding between the carbon-fibre blades and aluminium fork crown to fail. The bonding material hadn’t adequately bonded the two components."

@winjim note (but I can see that the alloy steerer model is excluded from the recall).
