A man has appeared in court charged with manslaughter after an elderly woman died during a “slapping therapy” session at a hotel.
Danielle Carr-Gomm, 71, died at Cleeve House in Seend, Wiltshire, on 20 October 2016 after taking part in a workshop to help with her diabetes. The workshop is understood to have involved “Iajin therapy”, which sees patients being slapped or slapping themselves repeatedly, in the belief that it releases toxins from the blood.
