AN 85-year-old woman died following a fall in the garden of her Clitheroe home.
An inquest heard that Mary Chappell, who died as a result of bleeding inside her skull, was taking the anti-coagulant warferin because of heart disease.
But despite the treatment being stopped as soon as she was admitted to hospital and a medication given to counter the drug the bleeding was never controlled.
Mrs Chappell appeared to have tripped over her back door step, in Tower Hill, on July 19, and had cut her leg and banged her head in the fall.
Coroner Michael Singleton recorded a verdict of accidental death.
