The daughter of a Bolton woman has paid tribute to her mum following an inquest into her death.
Olubunmi Ogunjimi died aged 48 on December 10 last year after she was found with reduced consciousness at her home on Westgate Avenue, Heaton.
The first part of an inquest into her death was reported on by The Bolton News in May, where Bolton Coroners Court heard that she had been found at her flat by a carer on a routine visit.
Paramedics were called to the property, before she was taken to Royal Bolton Hospital. However, her condition worsened and she was pronounced dead at around 10pm.
The inquest resumed and concluded on Friday, September 8, with further evidence being heard from care professionals and paramedics.
Speaking afterwards, Miss Ogunjimi's daughter, Tolulope Gbadebo, said: "I love her, and her death was so sudden.
"I feel really bad that it has happened, but I know she is resting."
Paramedic Christopher Bilton, who attended the incident gave evidence. Upon arriving on scene, he and fellow paramedic, Sophie Powell, took Miss Ogunjimi's vital signs.
He said: "We walked into the bedroom where Miss Ogunjimi was lying on the bed - I didn't know if she got there herself or if she had been moved.
"She appeared extremely drowsy and only responded to pain."
After taking her vital signs, they found that her blood pressure was low while her heartrate was high, as well as her breathing being fast.
They then took her to hospital, where they handed her over to A&E staff.
Coroner Peter Sigee accepted the medical cause of death as combined drug toxicity.
Concluding, Mr Sigee said: "Miss Ogunjimi had various significant physical and mental health issues, for which she was prescribed 19 strong medications.
"On December 10, she was found by care workers at her home with reduced consciousness. She was taken to hospital by ambulance and admitted for assessment.
"Shortly after, she went into cardiac arrest, and despite medical intervention, it was not possible to revive her and she was pronounced dead at 10.20pm."
Mr Sigee gave a narrative conclusion into Miss Ogunjimi's death.
He added: "Miss Ogunjimi's death was caused by the consumption of her prescribed medicine, but it has not been possible to determine the precise circumstances in which she died, or her intentions at the time."
