Butlins death woman was on sister's hen night

A WOMAN who died at the weekend at Butlins holiday centre, Minehead, was on a hen night for her elder sister’s wedding.
She has been named as Jayne Hulme, aged 35, of Exeter, who was with her sister Sarah, aged 39, and a group of friends when the tragedy happened.
She had two other sisters, Helen, aged 37, and Sharon, aged 38.
Sarah Hulme was due to be married in Exeter in about five weeks’ time and has not yet decided if the wedding will go ahead or be postponed.
Jayne Hulme collapsed at about 10 pm on Saturday, June 9, and was at first taken in a mini bus to Minehead Hospital for treatment, but was later transferred by ambulance to Musgrove Park Hospital, Taunton, where she died.
It was claimed Jayne had fallen to the ground and banged her head as the group of friends left one of the venues at the centre.
Butlins is a popular venue for stag and hen night weekends and themed holidays such as 70s and 80s, and ‘adult’ breaks.
Police said there were no suspicious circumstances surrounding Jayne's death and the West Somerset Coroner, Michael Rose, had been informed.
A post mortem examination was due to take place to establish the cause of her death.
Jayne, who was single, and her sisters had previously suffered the bereavement two years ago of their parents Rex and Janet Hulme, from meningitis and cancer, respectively.
