The coroner's concerns
1. smoking in bed or chair with flammable clothing
“She insisted on smoking. She was extremely frail and tried to light a cigarette using a match. She apparently managed to strike one but she then dropped it (the lit match) into her lap. Her cotton night dress caught fire and she received burns.”
