Mrs Bithell's husband David had been diagnosed with mantle cell lymphoma only months before her death. Mrs Bunn said during a visit in early October 2019, she had noticed Mrs Bithell's right eye seemed to be watery and drooping. Shocked doctors realised Mrs Bithell had suffered a brain aneurysm, a condition where a blood vessel in the brain bursts catastrophically. However, Mrs Bunn added: "She started to become confused and agitated, she even tried to pull out her drain. The coroner told Mrs Bunn: "I hope that one day you can report back to Harry and David what happened."
