A RETIRED civil servant suffered fatal head injuries when she was blown over by a search and rescue helicopter landing at a hospital, an inquest jury has heard.
Jean Langan, 87, had attended Derriford Hospital in Plymouth, Devon, to have a hearing aid fitted and was walking with her niece back to their car in the hospital car park on March 4 2022.
In a statement from her family, they described how both Mrs Langan and her niece Gael were "blown over by downwash from a helicopter".
The statement, read to Exeter Coroner's Court by retired senior coroner Ian Arrow, said grandmother-of-three Mrs Langan suffered fatal head injuries and died a short time later.
Mr Arrow told the inquest jury that Mrs Langan, who was born in Liverpool, was a retired civil servant who lived in Plymouth.
