Coroner of Inquests Jayne Hughes has ruled a 91-year-old Peel woman’s death was as a result of an accident.
Gwendoline Crellin, a retired radiographer, of Battery Road, Peel, died of carbon monoxide poisoning following a fire in her home in February of this year.
On Friday Mrs Hughes ruled that the fire was likely caused as a result of a faulty electric blanket which was switched on in the main bedroom.
Witnesses told Mrs Hughes that residents in the other flats were awoken by the fire alarm shortly after midnight on February 6. Two of Mrs Crellin’s neighbours who gave evidence said they saw smoke when they exited their flats and one of them rang the fire service.
