Tragic case of Jean Thompson, 35, who fell 90ft into a hole which opened up beneath her feet in Frindsbury

The 35-year-old had endured the death of her mother and, just months later, her father was killed in a car crash. But by the end of Tuesday, November 21, she too would be dead, in the most shocking and unexpected of circumstances.
