It's April 16th, I'm Cory with the story, and this is Calvary News today, local news powered by AI. A British coroner just ruled that long-time BBC Radio Wales presenter Linda Shaw-Wan died from paratonitis and infection tied to abdominal injuries from, a car crash in Vancouver last summer. The 53-year-old was on vacation with her husband and two sons when their vehicle flipped in a collision on July 15th. She got treated at Lionsgate Hospital for a broken rib, bruising and a collapsed lung, then discharge the next day. Her family flew home on July 18th since she wasn't cleared to travel, but they couldn't reach her the following day. Authorities found her body in their rental apartment. Shaw-Wan had built a 25-year career at the station, co-hosting the hit gardening podcast, podcast, and shining on morning shows. Colleagues remembered her as a creative force with great chemistry on air, calling her a beloved friend whose easy vibe made every session special. This week's Inquest in Pony-Prid Wales confirmed the infection stemmed directly from the crash
injuries. Paratonitis inflames the abdominal lining and can turn deadly without quit treatment, like antibiotics or surgery. Her loss hit Radio Wales hard, leaving a void in their team and among fans who tuned in for her warmth and expertise. Rest in power to a true broadcasting gem.
