Mother Sabrina Lyttle, 47, was found dead inside a Blackpool restaurant two days after using the loo in the Chinese, Thai and Indian food fusion joint. An inquest is set to take place
A beloved mum was tragically found dead inside a restaurant’s toilet two days after using it.
Sabrina Lyttle, 47, is believed to have been discovered in the restroom of the eatery. Her mother Catherine has since revealed that her daughter had entered the restaurant to use the facilities two days prior. She mentioned that patrons had reported being unable to access one of the cubicles yet Sabrina wasn’t discovered until November 30, two days later.
The police were summoned to Gurkha Restaurant on Waterloo Road, Blackpool, which offers Chinese, Thai and Indian cuisine, at 1pm on Saturday, November 30. Catherine shared on Facebook: “My daughter entered the property on Thursday, November 28 to use the toilet. We are still awaiting the post mortem to determine the cause of death but her body was not discovered until Saturday afternoon.”
A representative for Lancashire Constabulary stated: “We were called shortly after 1pm on Saturday, November 30 to report a sudden death at an address on Waterloo Road in Blackpool. Officers attended and sadly found a woman in her 40s dead inside the premises. Our thoughts are with her loved ones at this time. The death is not being treated as suspicious and a file will be prepared for the coroner.”
An inquest into Sabrina’s death is scheduled to take place at Blackpool Town Hall at 10am on Thursday, April 3, reports the Mirror.
