Now an inquest will probe her care and treatment under Cardiff and Vale University Health Board.

Mr James, who played twice for England but now works for The Times, told friends he was “devastated” at her sudden loss while he was away covering the Six Nations.

He was at the Wales versus Ireland match in Dublin and due to weather delays was unable to fly home to see her before she died.
