He then looked out from the living room window and found her ‘slumped on the driveway in her mobility scooter,’ Ruthin Coroner’s Court heard.

Paramedics were called to Ms Campbell’s home and she was pronounced dead at the scene on December 4.
Coroner John Gittins said a post-mortem examination gave a provisional cause of death given as a fatty liver, of which alcohol toxicity contributed.
He said toxicology tests showed a ‘high alcohol level’ of 487mg alcohol per 100ml of blood – far past the legal driving limit of 80mg.
