Terrible way to go.
A woman died after getting trapped in an airing cupboard while on holiday, an inquest has heard.
Elizabeth Isherwood, 60, from Wolverhampton, tried to break out using a piece of water pipe.
But after breaking the pipe, she got sprayed with water and subsequently died from hypothermia at Plas Talgarth Country Club near Pennal, Gwynedd.
Coroner Dewi Pritchard Jones recorded a conclusion of misadventure at a hearing in Caernarfon.
The inquest was told Ms Isherwood checked in on 23 September 2017, but her body was not found for a week.
It is believed she got trapped the night she arrived or the morning after when she was going to the toilet, but the coroner said it was difficult to know when.
The internal doorknob disintegrated, meaning she could not escape.

How did she end up in the airing cupboard?
