A KIDDERMINSTER pensioner died as the result of an accident after a fall, a coroner has ruled.

Eunice Davies, of Holman Street, sustained injury in a fall and was admitted into the Worcestershire Royal Hospital for surgery.

The 83-year-old’s condition declined and she died on February 28.

An inquest held by Worcestershire Coroner’s Service, which opened on March 15, and closed on Monday, May 23, ruled she died as the result of an accident.

The precise medical cause of death, confirmed at the inquest, is listed as pneumonia and fractured neck of femur.
