A 31-YEAR-OLD woman died from alcohol poisoning, an inquest heard. Helen Mort, of East Park Avenue, Darwen, was found dead in her home on December 5 by her ex-boyfriend Dale Kenney who had been concerned about her after an old friend raised an alarm over her wellbeing. Coroner Richard Taylor, sitting at Preston Coroners Court, said Dale rushed to Helen’s home and found her on the floor at the bottom of the stairs. He said it was obvious she had died, but in his view she would have never have attempted to take her life. Christopher Chandley, who was Helen’s high school sweetheart, hadn’t heard from her for years and out of the blue, she asked to speak with him and they shared a video call at about 2am on December 5 to ‘speak about the old days’.
