A mother died after being trapped and suffocated by her ottoman bed.

Tragedy struck the Davey family in June when Helen Davey, a 39-year-old mother, passed away. Her teenage daughter, Elizabeth, discovered her lifeless body at their home in Seaham, County Durham. It was a horrific scene - Helen had suffocated to death in her faulty ottoman bed. The bed had collapsed on her head, trapping her between the mattress and the base.

It was later revealed in an inquest that one of the gas pistons in the bed was defective. This caused the mattress platform to unexpectedly descend, resulting in Helen's death. Senior coroner Jeremy Chipperfield expressed his concerns about the danger of these faulty gas piston bed mechanisms and urged the Office for Product Standards to take action to prevent any further tragedies.

Helen was a hard-working woman, running a beauty business called All Dolled Up from her home. She was also a loving mother to her two children, 19-year-old Elizabeth and 11-year-old George. In a tribute shared on Facebook, Elizabeth, also known as Betty, described her mother as her and George's best friend from day one. She struggled to come to terms with the fact that her mother was gone and wished for more time with her.

Elizabeth declined to comment when approached by MailOnline, but her heartfelt tribute to her mother spoke volumes. She expressed her love for her mother and how she would do anything for one more cuddle. The loss of her mother has left a void in her life, but she finds solace in the thought that they will be reunited again someday.
