A woman found in her home with serious head injuries was unable to speak and her lips appeared to be glued shut, an inquest into her death has been told. Elizabeth Britton, 44, was found conscious in her Pottsville home in northern NSW on October 10, 2022, but died in hospital several weeks later. Nobody has been charged over her death and an inquest is seeking to determine if her injuries were the result of an accident or an assault.
The paramedic said Britton also nodded when he asked her: “Did your boyfriend do this to you?” Police were then called to respond to a potential domestic violence situation. Cameron told the inquiry he was aware no glue was found on Britton’s lips when testing was done some time later. Paramedics removed Britton from the scene and drove the ambulance around the corner before continuing to provide treatment, which the inquest heard was standard practice when danger might be present.
