TUBERCULOSIS: England: Policewoman's death in Manchester

Wed Dec 22 2010,
An Indian-origin policewoman in UK’s Manchester died from tuberculosis two days after she was attacked by her estranged husband, an inquest has ruled. The body of mother-of-four Vijay Singh, 37, was discovered by her son (8) and daughter (16).
Two days earlier, her ex-husband Wlati Singh, 39, had punched her in the head and chest. The couple’s son Kiran Singh, 19, told the inquest that his mother, who served with Greater Manchester Police for 14 years, was suffering from gallstone problems, but the family had no idea she had TB.
Coroner Nigel Meadows, who ruled she actually died from TB, said: “The gallstone problem may have triggered or coincided with the TB coming back. She hadn’t suffered any injuries as a result of any alleged assault that contributed to her death.”
