Kate Golby, 44, a psychic and author, died after falling down a flight of stairs at her home on Blue Boar Lane in Norwich. She had been working from home when the accident occurred. Her son found her unresponsive at the bottom of the stairs and an air ambulance was called to the scene. She was taken to Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge where she died two days later.
