Grandmother's death 'could not have been prevented' despite sons' criticism of care

Claims made by Janet Noon's sons against care staff, an ambulance crew and her GP were examined at an inquest at Norfolk Coroner's Court this week.

Concluding the inquest, assistant coroner Robin Weyell said the 73-year-old had died as a result of a pulmonary thromboembolism - a naturally occurring condition.

He also found that none of the concerns raised by her family had caused or contributed to her death.

Mrs Noon, who had been diagnosed with dementia in 2020, died on February 12 last year while a resident at Belvoir House, Brundall.

Mr Weyell described her as "much loved by her family and friends".

"She was a hardworking and selfless individual with a strong faith who always put everyone first and every job or role she took on was centred around helping people," he added.

“As long as what she was doing was working towards her goal of helping others she was happy, a reflection of her Christian faith and charitable spirit.

“I do not find her death was in any way preventable."
