A woman tragically lost her life after a fall on an escalator at a shopping centre caused catastrophic bleeding.
The inquest, held at Swansea’s Guildhall yesterday, heard that retired administrator Ms Harris, who lived on Miers Street in St Thomas, died from external bleeding caused by traumatic lacerations to her right leg.
Her bleeding was reportedly exacerbated by two common medications she was taking, apixaban and aspirin.
