Marguerite Hayward's son, Martin told Newsweek when he took her from hospital 'it was the worst week of my life.'
Cruise Ship Crew Who Used Bathrobe to Restrain Woman, 83, Experiencing 'Acute Delirium' Contributed to Her DeathThe son of an 83-year-old woman whose death a coroner linked to her being restrained by a cruise ship crew following a panic attack, has toldMarguerite Hayward, 83, from Lavenham in Suffolk, eastern England, was on a dream vacation on the Seven Seas Explorer with her husband of over 63 years, Frederick, 87, a British army veteran.
Although she was calmer by morning, she was"medically disembarked" from the vessel at Sorrento, in Italy, so she could have"specialist treatment.":"When I went out to Italy to try and bring my mom home, I would say that was the worst week of my life. It was worse for her. It has been deeply traumatic."
In his record of inquest, the Suffolk coroner Nigel Parsley noted how"on arrival ashore, Marguerite was calm but became distressed and agitated when once again physically restrained and placed into the back of an ambulance by the ambulance crew." "The hospital didn't know what to do with her, so they basically spent a week trying to find out what was wrong with her. There was nothing wrong with her - she had a panic attack that became a bigger attack. She didn't need to be hospitalized."
In his record of inquest, the coroner said that the"sequence of events which started on the ship, and the treatment which she received overseas, had a cumulative and contributing effect on her death."
