A care home patient choked to death on a jam doughnut despite a warning she should not be given bread, an inquest has heard.
Christine Thomas, 59, was handed the snack cut into three pieces by agency care worker Paula Parry, while taking lunch at the Swn y Wylan Home in Rhos-on-Sea, North Wales.
When Ms Parry returned from fetching a napkin, she noticed the patient, who had physical and mental health problems, 'looking grey' and with blueish lips but she did not seem to be choking, the inquest in Ruthin, Wales heard.
Paramedic Richard Roberts said he removed 'a small particle of food' from Ms Thomas's airway.
Lynne Forbes, manager of the home, said she first found out about the doughnut incident a day later, when the care home patient had been admitted into intensive care.
