A 93-year-old woman who was found dead in her gas-filled home in Scaynes Hill died of natural causes.

Police named her as Aileen Burtles and said the death was unconnected with the gas being left on.

She was found sitting in her armchair at her home in Hillcrest Lane last Wednesday after a neighbour smelled gas and firefighters broke in.

A ring on the gas cooker had not been turned off properly but a post-mortem examination revealed she died of natural causes.
