A carer drowned after suffering an epileptic fit as she took a bath.

Alex Wells, 37, was found in her bath with the taps still running at her flat in Fourth Avenue, Hove.

Neighbours raised the alarm after water dripped through the ceiling for two hours on December 17.

Miss Wells had suffered from epilepsy since she was a child and took medication to control her seizures.

Gilva Tisshaw, deputy assistant coroner for Brighton and Hove, said she was satisfied that Miss Wells died following an epileptic fit in the bath.

Miss Wells was born in Brighton but had lived in Burgess Hill before settling in Hove.
