A 'proud' mum who died after developing hypothermia was worried about her energy bills, despite assurances from her son that he would cover the cost.
Barbara Bolton, 87, told relatives she 'felt cold' after they went round to her home in Bury to check on her. She was rushed to Fairfield hospital where she was diagnosed with hypothermia.
Despite the best efforts of medical professionals, her condition deteriorated and she sadly died several weeks later, an inquest opening at Rochdale Coroner's Court heard.
