A WOMAN has died after falling on an escalator at a WHSmith store in a UK shopping centre.

She tragically passed away after the accident in WHSmith at Quadrant Shopping Centre in Swansea.

An inquest into the death of Margaret Rose Harris heard how the 90-year-old died from external bleeding after suffering traumatic lacerations to her right leg.

Margaret was left seriously wounded after she fell on Tuesday, January 21, of this year.

The retired administrator had been prescribed apixaban and aspirin, which would have contributed to the continuous bleeding.

The inquest ruled that there were no faults in respect of the escalator or the surrounding environment.

Senior coroner Aled Gruffydd returned a conclusion of accidental death.
