An inquest will begin today into the death of a mum-of-four.

Sharon Rose Grierson, 44, and from Aspatria, died on November 14 last year at the Cumberland Infirmary in Carlisle.

Her death sparked a police investigation, although details of how she died or what the investigation was focusing on have ever been released.

The inquest is being held in Cockermouth, and is expected to last up to four days.

Following Ms Grierson's death, her family released an emotional tribute to her, describing her as "a cherished mother whose children were her world".
