May Appleton
PENSIONER May Appleton died at Leighton Hospital this morning, her family confirmed today.
The 87-year-old died in the early hours, and had been living at the Travelodge at Lostock Gralam with her sons Brian, Mark and Paul since the family was evicted from their Lostock home in March.
The eviction followed a three-year battle with landlord Weaver Vale Housing Trust over their possessions, which the trust classed as hoarding, which Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service said presented significant risks for individuals, communities and firefighters.
May and her sons had lived in their home in Langford Road for 61 years.
