An elderly widow has died after a microwaveable 'herbal pillow', used to keep her warm at night, caught fire while she was in bed.
Grandmother Doreen Ghiloni, 82, died in hospital of a suspected heart attack after suffering from the effects of smoke inhalation.
The coroner's office is investigating the tragedy, which may have been caused by Mrs Ghiloni accidentally overheating the warming bag in the microwave.
Her family have warned people using the increasingly popular 'comforters' to carefully follow the instructions when heating them up.
