THE body of a woman was found by police at her Southampton home after she died of internal poisoning linked to her diabetes.

The family of Elaine Douglas, 47, of Britannia Road, had grown concerned for her welfare as they had not spoken to her for days, an inquest heard. Coroner Gordon Denson recorded a verdict of death by natural causes.

Haven't heard of that complication before!:confused:

Indeed. It does make you wonder how many people out there would be helped by somewhere like this, but have no idea it exists. Of course that may not be the case here, we don't know much at all from the story. :(
 
Another sad story :( poor woman
 
Very sad. She could have easily been a member of our forum. So young too.

God bless.
 
When I saw internal poisoning, i thought of blood poisoning.

It is a shame she had to die like this, she could easily have been part of our forum if she had known about us!
