Worrall died in jail from medical problem

Worrall died in jail from medical problem-A woman jailed for killing her sister after a row about a hair straightener died in her cell as a result of a medical condition, a coroner has found.Deputy State Coroner Scott Mitchell said it would never be known whether 22-year-old Kathleen Worrall made up a story about being bashed by a prison officer after refusing his sexual advances.He concluded today that she died of pulmonary thromboembolism with morbid obesity.

An inquest into her death heard Worrall had long suffered from congenital adrenal hyperplasia, a genetic disorder that affects the adrenal glands.

At the time of her death she weighed 133 kilograms, a side-effect of medications she was taking.
Worrall was found by fellow prisoners at Dillwynia Women's Correctional Centre on the morning of August 1, 2010.

Worrall was jailed on June 4 after being found guilty of stabbing her sister Susan more than 50 times with a knife.
She was serving six years for manslaughter, with a non-parole period of four years and three months.
The inquest, held at Parramatta Local Court, lasted less than two hours.
It heard her mother Maureen had reported to Corrective Services NSW that Kathleen had told her she had been bashed by a male prison officer after refusing his sexual advances.
Mrs Worrall made the complaint after receiving toxicology reports that showed bruising on her daughter's buttocks, back and lower neck.
Mr Mitchell said the truth about the allegations would never be known.
"If she did make it up, it's an indication of the degree of distress she was suffering," he said.
"If it did happen, all I can say is that police have tried and failed to clarify the matter."
Mr Mitchell said that, regardless, Worrall had seemed to be "happy, outgoing, loved, keen to get on with life, and as her father said, euphoric"."That is something her parents can cling to," he said.
