Woman on cruise died from virus

A 78-year-old retired teacher died during a cruise less than two weeks after the ship had been detained due to a sickness bug, an inquest heard.
Pat Horn, of Cheltenham, Glos, died on 8 June, a day after contracting the Norovirus which led to the Van Gogh liner being held at Harwich, Essex.

More than 100 passengers had contracted the virus which causes vomiting.

A verdict of death by natural causes was recorded at the Chelmsford inquest by Coroner Caroline Beasley-Murray.
