AI-generated summary

Valma Mona Boehm, aged 92, died from bilateral pulmonary thromboembolism with contributing right temporal lobe haemorrhage due to cerebrovascular amyloidosis at an aged care facility. She had been admitted following acute delirium secondary to urinary tract infection on a background of dementia, treated at hospital then discharged to residential care. The coroner found her care at both the hospital and aged care facility was appropriate, and that her custodial circumstances did not contribute to her death. The cause was entirely natural and consistent with expected clinical progression in her condition.
