Cause of death
head injuries suffered in a fall; skull fractures with bruising to the brain and subarachnoid haemorrhage
AI-generated summary
A 73-year-old woman with a history of dilated cardiomyopathy and recently inserted pacemaker/defibrillator fell down external restaurant stairs while leaving an anniversary celebration. She tripped or lost balance after walking down approximately three of ten stairs, landing head-first and sustaining fatal skull fractures with subarachnoid haemorrhage. Pacemaker data showed brief ventricular tachycardia and asystole occurring as a consequence of the fall rather than preceding it. The coroner found no evidence of stair non-compliance or systemic safety issues, noting the stairs had been safely used by numerous people daily for many years without incident. The death was determined to result from accidental head injury secondary to a fall.
