Doctors suspected at first that tragic 30-year-old Ewelina Sasak may have been attacked, but they ultimately found no signs of third party involvement or self-defence
A vet in her “dream job” bled to death after she was found with horrific injuries in a bath at a four-star hotel, an inquest heard.
She had moved to the UK in 2021 after qualifying as a vet in Poland. Using a friend as a translator, her dad, Henryk Sasak, said: “She was working as a vet, she had had a pay rise. At 10pm that night Ms Sasak checked into the Staunton Hotel. She made the reservation under one name only and paid the night porter upfront in cash, for a night in a ground floor room beside reception.
The hotel owner arrived at 12.10pm – he struggled to break into the locked door and to find Ms Sasak lying in the bath, conscious, but covered with deep cuts. He called the emergency services and police discovered Ms Sasak still conscious with two sharp objects beside her and blood across the hotel room.
Assistant Coroner Ian Potter ruled that Ms Sasak died by suicide. Mr Potter said “we can never know” whether her belief was grounded in reality, but that it was clear she overcome by “fear and distress” when she checked into the Staunton Hotel. “I have no doubt that Ewelina did believe that she was being followed. What is less clear is the source of that belief – whether it was entirely based in reality, or whether it was delusional, either in whole or in part.
