Coroner Andre Rebello told Liverpool Coroner’s Court that the TV star’s fall was the cause of death, contrary to previous reports that she died of a stroke.
The funeral of the 72-year-old is set for next Thursday at St Mary’s Roman Catholic Church in Liverpool.
Local residents reacted with surprise and grief to the star who had spent a month in her luxury El Paraiso villa every year since the 1980s.
The question arises, if Cilla had been taken straight to hospital for a scan, would a brain-bleed have been diagnosed and a swift operation saved her?
Stefanjo, unfortunately this did not occur so who knows?.
She was dead when her Son found her and had been lying in full sun for about 4 hours. At least read the report before commenting. The Spanish autopsy made no mention of a stroke and yesterday the UK Inquest agreed.
The facts are she fell, knocking over a table in the process, hit her head on a wall and was not discovered for around 4 hours at which time she was already dead.
