Ambulance Strike

An inquest on Monday heard how a British hen party ended in tragedy, after a 52-year-old woman suffered a fatal fall.

Julie Hall tragically died while celebrating a friend’s upcoming wedding, having spent her day sipping Prosecco and enjoying afternoon tea.

Ms Hall was found with a head wound on the floor beside a hot tub at Wynyard Hall, Stockon-on-Tees in Durham.

According to The Mirror, she was rushed to James Cook Hospital in Middlesbrough but unfortunately died a few days later with her husband at her bedside.

The court heard that the supermarket worker had made an attempt on her life just days previously, but the coroner dismissed the idea that she may have taken her own life.

She was found with prescription drugs in her system, as well as having alcohol levels of more than three times the drink driving limit, however a pathologist determined there was no evidence that she had overdosed.

Ms Hall suffered a fractured skull and a haemorrhage which lead to her death.
