Neighbour’s Screams Trigger Emergency Response
At around 9:20am, neighbours at Wey Court heard a woman screaming and quickly alerted emergency services. Police and paramedics rushed to the scene. Surrey and Kent air ambulances even landed on the nearby Godalming Town FC pitch to speed up treatment.
The woman, locally named Mary and believed to be in her seventies, was treated at the property but sadly died at 10:10am.
