RETIRED market stall proprietor Jean Rostron, 76, of Westland Avenue, Darwen, died of natural causes, an inquest heard.
Mrs Rostron died of bronchopneumonia as a result of milo-fibrosis but at the time of her death in May doctors had not been certain of the cause.
Coroner Michael Singleton said it had always been anticipated that a natural causes verdict would be returned but a post mortem examination had been necessary for confirmation.
