A "distraught" mother says she wants "answers" because her daughter's body has been kept in a morgue for three weeks due to a lack of pathologists.

Zoe Loudon-Godfrey, 50, died from a possible heart attack and the family is now awaiting a post-mortem examination.

Her mother, Susan Hodgetts, said she was still in the dark about the cause of her daughter's death.

A spokesman for Somerset Council, which is responsible for the coroner's office, apologised for the delay.

After publication, the BBC was told the post-mortem examination would go ahead on 31 May.

Mrs Loudon-Godfrey was one of the first female train drivers to work in Bristol for Virgin Cross Country.

She had only recently passed an occupational medical assessment before she became breathless on 7 May and was rushed to hospital in an ambulance.

Story continues on the BBC article.

Whoever carried that out has a nervous few days/weeks ahead. Imagine if she had had that while driving....
