A woman has tragically died after her Ottoman-style bed fell and suffocated her.
Helen Davey, from County Durham, UK, died in the tragic accident at her home on June 7, as reported by the BBC.
The 39-year-old became trapped between the mattress and base due to a defective gas piston that was responsible for raising her bed.
The mom-of-two was tragically found by her devastated 19-year-old daughter, Elizabeth, known as Betty.
The heartbroken teen penned an emotional tribute post which read: "No words would ever describe how we are feeling," per The Sun.
"'I can't even begin to process that it's real and you're not just going to walk through the door," she continued. "Mine and George's best friend from day one, I will always wish we had more time together and that you were still by our side supporting us through everything as always.
"I hope you know how much I love you and that I'd do anything for one more cuddle. Until we meet again my angel," she concluded.
The inquest, which took place on Friday, October 4, concluded that Davey's death was accidental.
Jeremy Chipperfield, the senior coroner for Durham and Darlington, has called on the government to prevent future deaths.
In his post-inquest report which was obtained by the outlet, Chipperfield said: "The deceased was leaning over the storage area of an Ottoman-styled 'gas-lift bed' when the mattress platform descended unexpectedly, trapping her neck against the upper surface of the side panel of the bed's base."
Davey, who was born in Hartlepool, was unable to free herself and tragically died of "positional asphyxia", the report added.
The coroner continued: "In my opinion, there is a risk that future deaths could occur unless action is taken," per BBC.
Chipperfield added that it was his responsibility to warn the Office for Product Standards at the Department for Business and Trade about "the existence and use of gas piston bed mechanisms whose failure presents risk to life".
The Department for Business and Trade (DBT) has until December 2 to respond to the inquiry, unless the period is extended. It must create a timetable of "action taken or proposed to be taken".
A spokesperson issued a statement to Davey's loved ones, which read: “This is a horrible tragedy and we’d like to express our sympathy to Helen's friends and family.
“We’re carefully considering the coroner’s report to understand the circumstances in this case and if there is anything we can do to prevent tragedies like this in the future we will respond fully before the deadline," they added.
Our thoughts are with Davey's family and friends at this time.
