A coroner has recorded a narrative verdict at the inquest of a woman who died after falling from a stretcher into the North Sea.
Janet Richardson, from Penrith, Cumbria, was on holiday with her husband George on a cruise ship travelling off the coast of Norway on March 29, 2011, when she fell ill.
The 72-year-old plunged into the sea while being transferred from the ship to a lifeboat.
She was not wearing a like jacket at the time, and the two vessels were not tied together.
The pensioner fell into the sea while being transferred off the cruise ship Mrs Richardson was taken to hospital in Norway and later transferred to another in Carlisle but died on April 21, 2011.
She died as a consequence of her underlying health conditions but the immersion in the icy, cold sea was a significant factor and "accelerated" her death, the inquest heard.
Mrs Richardson had been struck down with internal bleeding on the voyage from Hull to Norway on a trip to see the Northern Lights with her husband.
The captain of the Ocean Countess, operated by UK company Cruise and Maritime Voyages, had called for a rescue boat to take her to hospital.
As she was being lifted from the ship to the rescue boat, the two vessels moved away and her stretcher slipped from the grasp of the rescuers and she fell into the sea.
