Family's tribute to Jean after 'accident' verdict

THE family of an 87-year-old woman who died after being knocked to the ground by the downwash of a large HM Coastguard helicopter as it landed at Derriford Hospital have said they hope such a “terrible” incident will never happen again to anybody else.

Following a jury-led inquest into the death of Jean Langan, which took place at Exeter County Hall, now the main coroner’s court for Devon following its relocation from Plymouth, her death was determined an accident.

However, senior coroner Ian Arrow concluded the hearing by stating that he would make a Prevention of Future Deaths report which would be sent to the Department of Transport, following evidence he had heard over the three days. An Air Accident Investigation Branch (AAIB) inquiry found a number of “systemic safety issues”, not just at the Derriford Hospital helipad but with helipads across the country.
