95-Year-Old Flood Survivor Dies After Living in Wetherspoons for Months

Jean Powell, 95, was evacuated from her flat in Monmouth when the River Monnow burst its banks following severe rainfall last November. With no close family to look after her, she found temporary shelter in a local Wetherspoons hotel room, where staff looked after her for nearly 10 months while her home was being dried out and repaired. However, living in one room eventually took a toll on her health as time went on. She deteriorated and passed away in September before she was ever able to return to her retirement complex home.
