An 87-year-old who was stuck in her bath for four days only survived by topping up the hot water, drinking from the tap and wrapping herself in a dressing gown.
Pensioner Doreen Mann, 87, was stranded in her bath tub and had been calling out for help for days as she lives alone with no nearby family.
She had bruised her knees by attempting to get out of the tub but couldn’t escape so had to sit and hope help turned up instead.
Thankfully Doreen was rescued after a waitress at the cafe she visits regularly became concerned she hadn’t shown up for her weekly slice of cake.
The pensioner, from Southend, Essex, said: “I still can’t believe it happened and thank god I survived.”
