Who was Sarah Fullard ?

A proud mother-of-two who toasted her success in putting together a flat-pack garden furniture set has died in a freak accident after falling on it, an investigation has found.

Sarah Fullard, 42, helped herself to some drinks at her new coffee table as she celebrated in the garden of her home in Hull, East Yorkshire, on June 3, 2021.

Tragically, the position she was in after the fall meant that she was unable to breathe and she suffocated to death.

A neighbor had seen Mrs Fullard earlier in the day putting up a bench and she seemed “excited that she managed to put it up herself”, the inquest said.

She later looked over the fence, saw her slumped on the coffee table, and called 999.

There was no indication that she had been drinking heavily.

Mother

Her heartbroken mother, Jenny Fullard, said: “She took great pride in her new property. Sarah was very independent and did all the DIY herself.’

Recording a conclusion that Mrs Fullard’s death was an accident, Coroner Lorraine Harris said: “She just did what a lot of us do and that was have a few drinks in the safety of her home.”

In a statement, her mother added: “Words cannot express how much we love and miss Sarah. We are incredibly proud of her.

Sarah was interested in travel and tourism and she signed up for a course at Hull College.

Later she got a clerical job and then worked at Hull Prison, Hull Magistrates’ and later at a local school.

“She and her partner suddenly separated and her world fell apart. But they carried on and stayed friendly for the children’s sake.

“His life of hers was completely normal until her passing,” she continued.

“She had planned to go on holiday to Cornwall and was looking forward to it, but had to cancel. She would have been there the week she died.

The autopsy revealed that Sarah had moderate to severe alcohol intoxication, but that was not the cause of her death.

Her level of it would have put her at greater risk of falling, but the amount of her was not at a toxic level.

Dr. Ian Richmond concluded that it was the position she ended up in, having been momentarily rendered unconscious by her fall, that left her unable to breathe. He said that she died of ‘positional asphyxia’.

He also noted that her liver was in good condition, suggesting that she had never been a heavy drinker.

She had a couple of cuts on her face, but no injuries to her head or brain.
