A mother was scalded to death after falling into a piping hot bath when she suffered an epileptic fit, an Exeter inquest heard.
Tax investigator Lynn Harper toppled into the bath and tests showed the water had a temperature of 42 degrees C and a radiator in the bathroom was 52 degrees Celsius and ‘too hot to touch’.
A coroner ruled that 57-year-old Mrs Harper would have survived the seizure but died after falling into the ‘scalding hot bath’.
