Woman tragically died after night out playing bingo.
A mother fell down the stairs and died after she came in from playing bingo, reports the Bolton News.
After she fell, Anne Marie Santley was taken to Salford Royal Hospital in Bolton, on June 30.
However, the injury sustained to her head was very severe, and she died just three days later.
Her husband, Stephen Santley, said that the two were married in 1980, had a son, and then divorced after 19 years.
Anne then moved to Portugal, but subsequently returned and remarried Stephen in 2012.
She went to play bingo at a local hall on June 30. When she returned back home, she went upstairs to bed, and fell at the top of the stairs.
Stephen told the court: “She came down very fast. She didn’t cry out and didn’t appear to try and break her fall.”
An ambulance then took her to hospital. Staff there found that she had sustained a blood clot in her lungs and had fractured her skull and suffered a brain injury.
Dr Gareth Thomas, Consultant, told the court that he could not be certain of it, but the original fall may have resulted from the blood clot.
The coroner, Mrs Leeming, concluded that her death was accidental, since it was the head injury which was fatal, not the blood clot.
