An elderly woman died after care workers dropped her into a scalding hot bath in a home. Bettina East was lowered into the steaming water by two carers at The Ormsby Centre in East Street, Littlehampton. The 86-year-old suffered such serious injuries she was rushed to a specialist burns unit in London but died days later. Today daughter Andrea Deamer criticised the home for neglecting her mother, who had Alzheimer's disease. And she blamed staff for the death of her father, Ronald, 91, who died ten weeks later of what the family believe was a broken heart. Alan Lucas and Richard Wooton, the owners of the home, were yesterday fined £16,000 each at Worthing Magistrates' Court for Mrs East's death. They were also ordered to pay £22,560 in costs after pleading guilty to breaching health and safety laws. Mrs Deamer, 56, said: "I'm angry because my mum was ill and the carers were supposed to be looking after her. "My mum's death poleaxed my dad and his health quickly deteriorated until he too died." Mr and Mrs East had moved from Norfolk to Marama Gardens in Rustington, near Littlehampton, in February 2005 to be near their family.
