A woman who fell and injured her ankle in a Launceston car park last year was initially treated with a moon boot and crutches before developing deep vein thrombosis and dying in hospital two weeks later, a coroner has found.
Jessica Rose-Aida Borton, a teacher's aide at St Patrick's College in Launceston, fell in a Youngtown car park in October and was given crutches and the boot for her right ankle, which was immobilised.
