Osteoporosis likely contributed to her fatal rib fractures from the fall.

Fall, Not Collision, Likely Killed Great-Grandmother

An inquest determined that an 81-year-old woman's death was caused by a fall outside a GP surgery, not the subsequent collision with her son's car. The great-grandmother, Celia Adams, had mobility issues and osteoporosis.

Her son, Ian Adams, had parked his vehicle at Brynffynnon Surgery to assist his mother. While he reversed the car, he did not see her fall. She sustained injuries, including fractured ribs.

Coroner John Gittins concluded the death was accidental, attributing the fatal respiratory failure to the rib fractures likely caused by the initial fall, compounded by her osteoporosis. The family remembered her as a woman of many talents with a big heart.
