AN inquest has been opened into the death of a woman who was rescued from a fire at her home but later died of her injuries.
Firefighters had been called out to the terraced house in Common Road, Newton-le-Willows, on Wednesday, January 19, after neighbours reported smelling smoke.
After having to force their way into the building, they found 56-year-old Catherine Tilley in her bed.
She was taken to Whiston Hospital's intensive care unit suffering from 40 per cent burns and died on Friday, January 28.
