A mum died after being hit by lightning while on holiday with her two children in Croatia. The lightning strike is thought to have entered through Daniella DiMambro's right ear, causing a cardiac arrest.
Senior coroner Mairin Casey heard that a bystander gave CPR but Daniella suffered hypoxic brain injuries. She was taken to hospital in Croatia, then managed in intensive care. She was later repatriated to the UK but died, reports NottinghamshireLive.
The mum was at a beach near Split with her daughter when the incident happened. Daniella, 48, of Nottingham, was put on ventilation in intensive care in the UK. She was treated for a high body temperature and urinary infection.
