Coroner’s conclusions now starting to be reported in MSM:

And also:

From the Guardian Report, in part: .
.....Recording that Natasha died as a result of a “catastrophic anaphlyactic reaction from which she could not be saved”, Dr Sean Cummings, the acting senior coroner for west London said on Friday he would write a recommendation letter to Gove, the secretary for environment, food and rural affairs, that food information regulations should be changed.

He also criticised Pret for not taking allergen monitoring seriously.

Dr Thomas Pearson-Jones attended to Natasha after BA staff put out a request for medical help but the cabin crew did not tell him a defibrillator was on board. Cummings described this as an “omission” but said he did not think it made a material difference to the outcome.

Cummings also made recommendations with respect to the length of EpiPens.
