A mum of four died after tripping up the stairs and banging her head, an inquest has heard. Lisa Price, 38, fell just a few steps but her brain began to swell and bleeding pressed on her spinal cord.
Home Office pathologist Dr Jamie Robinson told the inquest such injuries can occur even after falling from just one step. When someone suffers an injury as Lisa did "the odds are stacked against survival", Dr Robinson said, and even if someone was rushed straight to hospital treating it is "very, very difficult", reports LancsLive.
Lisa had spent the evening drinking with her best friend Dom Farrington when the pair decided to perform a rendition of George Michael's duet with Elton John of Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me.
