‘Always a happy lady’: Bramley widow died due to complications after fall
A 77-year-old woman from Bramley died because of complications due to a fall, an inquest heard.
Susan Mary Docwra Douglas, a resident of Maywood House on The Street in Bramley, passed away on November 14, 2020.
The inquest concluded that sepsis, fractured neck of femur, fall, and dementia were the reasons for her death.
She had a past medical history of dementia and anxiety, especially during lockdown.
At an inquest today (Monday, May 17), Winchester Coroner's Court heard that Susan fell from her bed on October 9, 2020.
She was taken to Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital, where it was found that she sustained a fractured right neck of femur. Despite operating her hip, Susan developed infections which needed further two washout surgeries.
