An inquest jury has concluded that a woman died after contracting Legionnaires’ disease while on holiday at a Ludlow hotel.
69 year old Elaine Esther Brown, picked up the fatal infection at the Feathers Hotel where she stayed with her husband Graham in July 2017.
Mrs Brown died in August at the Royal Liverpool University Hospital from a stroke brought on by legionella pneumonia.
Senior coroner for Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin, John Ellery, asked a panel of 10 jury members to decide from the evidence whether Mrs Brown had contracted the disease at the Feathers Hotel.
The hotel closed after the incident. It has now been sold and will re-open to guests when new plumbing has been installed.
