The inquest heard Jennifer Selwood had diabetes and aplastic anaemia, which would cause bleeding and clotting problems if she suffered a trauma.
A grandmother died after being struck on the back of the head by a rugby ball as she watched her grandson play, an inquest heard. Jennifer Selwood, 69, suffered a bleed on the brain after being struck in the accident at Taunton RFC in Somerset in January 2020. The inquest in Wells heard Mrs Selwood had diabetes and the blood disorder aplastic anaemia, which would cause bleeding and clotting problems if she suffered a trauma.
'I just heard a thud, and she went down.' Mr Selwood said there were no signs to say they should not stand there, and he was not aware of any activity taking place behind them. The inquest also heard from Mrs Selwood's son, Dan, who was a youth coach at the club, when he became aware of the incident and ran over to her. He said: 'When I was with mum she started complaining of pain and started rubbing the back of her neck. She started to drift quite quickly.
