The bodies of Alphonsine Djiako Leuga, 47, and 18-year-old Loraine Choulla were found on 21 May 2024 in a house in Radford, Nottingham, after concerns were raised about their welfare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They were believed to have been undiscovered for \u201cweeks or months\u201d. An inquest into their deaths, which started on Monday, heard Alphonsine had called for an ambulance on 2 February saying she was cold and could not move, but nobody attended. An inquest at Nottingham Coroner\u2019s Court, led by assistant coroner Amanda Bewley, is expected to last five days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alphonsine\u2019s medical cause of death was proposed as pneumonia while her daughter\u2019s was \u201cunascertained\u201d, pathologist Dr Stuart Hamilton said in evidence. The inquest heard Loraine, who had Down\u2019s syndrome and learning disabilities, was \u201centirely dependent\u201d on her mother. Dr Hamilton said he could \u201cnot rule out\u201d that Alphonsine might have died on 2 February, which is when she called 999.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ichef.bbci.co.uk\/news\/480\/cpsprodpb\/b978\/live\/e9e5dca0-6614-11f0-88f4-9d5412e55539.jpg.webp\" alt=\"A police car outside a house in Radford in Nottingham\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Alphonsine had been admitted to City Hospital on 26 January with a lower respiratory tract infection and needed blood transfusions due to low iron levels.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The inquest heard Alphonsine was discharged from hospital on 28 January, agreeing to return the next day but never did. On 2 February, she called 999, saying she felt cold and couldn\u2019t move, and asked repeatedly for an ambulance before the call ended. Paramedic Susan Jevons said the call was wrongly closed as \u201cabandoned\u201d despite having her address and symptoms, calling it a \u201cmissed opportunity.\u201d The inquest will also examine if Alphonsine died before her daughter, Loraine, and whether her death could have been prevented. Post-mortem findings showed Loraine had lost significant weight and had an empty stomach and bladder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/?p=71719\">also read&#8230;.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A mother called 999 pleading for help months before she was found dead alongside her disabled daughter in their home, an inquest has heard.
