Woman died from blood clot after taking contraceptive pill
Fallan Kurek died in hospital in May last year after being found collapsed at her home in Tamworth
An inquest is being held into the death of a teaching assistant who suffered a blood clot on her lung after taking the contraceptive pill.
Fallan Kurek, 21, died in hospital in May last year after being found collapsed at her home in Tamworth, Staffordshire.
Miss Kurek, who doctors said had suffered a pulmonary embolism, is reported to have been taking the pill for just 25 days to regulate her periods.
Her father Brian, speaking to the media shortly after his daughter's death, said she had been looking forward to the rest of her life and described her as "confident, cheeky and bubbly".
The inquest will be heard at South Staffordshire Coroner's Court in Cannock.
