Ischaemic strokes occur when blood flow is restricted to the brain by blood clots which form in areas where arteries have been narrowed.
Christine’s secondary cause of death was cancer, per the publication.
The late 79-year-old’s cancer was a “metastatic malignancy of unknown primary origin” – meaning the cancer had spread in her body, but the origin of the tumours was unknown.
