Her son, Adam Lancaster, who was present at the inquest, told the hearing that the family received a phone call telling them that she had passed away at around 7.50am, while the court was told that her death was officially registered at 10.58am. Area Coroner Mr Taylor told the hearing that there were "no signs" beforehand of any swelling or bleeding, adding: “The last thing that the medics expected was for catastrophic bleeding to occur on April 12.
Offering his heartfelt condolences to her grieving family, Dr Ahmed Elmetwally, Consultant of Vascular and Endovascular surgery at East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust, also said, during the hearing: “She was a lovely lady and she was always smiling.”
