A disabled woman who had been looking forward to life in her refurbished bungalow was found dead at her temporary home by a care worker.

A Bradford inquest heard how Shirleyann Smith, 47, was found on her sofa at Forester Court, Denholme.

The day before her death in March, care worker Gail Holmes had visited her and said Mrs Smith had told her she was feeling sick.

Coroner Roger Whittaker also heard from Mrs Smith’s family that she had been worried about an operation but had been looking forward to returning to her bungalow in Station Road.

A post mortem showed an overdose of anti-depressants was the cause of death.

Recording an open verdict, Coroner Roger Whittaker said there was no evidence that would lead him to a concise belief that Mrs Smith had deliberately taken an overdose.
