The next day, Grace felt dizzy and fell onto the floor and hit her head on a wall, which prompted her daughter to ring for an ambulance. Once in the company of paramedics, she suffered a cardiac arrest and died at home.
In her conclusion, the coroner said: “I am satisfied she died as a result of an overdose but there is no evidence it was intentional. There was never any indication of her being suicidal. She contacted the GP the day before because she felt unwell and dizzy.”
The medical cause of death was recorded as an accidental sertraline overdose which the coroner said was both an “unexpected and unintended consequence”.
