Jennifer Selwood, a 69-year-old grandmother, tragically died after being struck on the back of the head by a rugby ball while watching her grandson play. The inquest revealed that this accident caused a severe bleed on the brain, exacerbated by her pre-existing medical conditions, which included diabetes and a blood disorder.
At the inquest, Mr. Selwood recounted how they had moved to a gravel path to avoid the slippy sidelines before his wife was struck. The suddenness of the incident left him devastated, as she simply groaned and collapsed before losing consciousness.
Medical experts indicated that Mrs. Selwood's health issues significantly contributed to the tragic outcome post-accident, raising concerns about the risks posed to individuals with similar conditions while engaged in such activities.
