She enjoyed going to Costa Coffee and would go with her son at least once a week.
The inquest heard that an ambulance was called and her family wrapped Barbara in quilts to try and keep her warm. “She would not put her heating on because she was worried she would not be able to pay her bills. She didn’t feel she needed the heating on and was worried she couldn’t afford it. Despite family members offering to help she was reluctant to take any help.”
“The only reason she developed hypothermia was because she had taken the decision not to put her heating on.
