<p>A pensioner is feared to have collapsed in her garden and frozen to death, police have said.</p>
<p>Officers discovered the body of Lillian Jenkinson, 80, in her back garden in Workington, Cumbria, at 10.40am on Thursday.</p>
<p>The day before an elderly man was also found dead in his garden in Kirby Stephen, also in Cumbria. It is not currently known how long he lay undetected.</p>
<p>Detectives said Mrs Jenkinson may have fallen in her garden and spent the night in freezing conditions before she was discovered.</p>
<p>Assistant chief constable Jerry Graham said: &#8220;Two elderly people have tragically died in their gardens in the last week and we know they were closely supported by family and neighbours.</p>
<p>&#8220;However not everyone has that support. So I would ask everyone to keep an eye out for vulnerable people in their community, particularly those who are elderly and live alone.&#8221;</p>
<p>Temperatures plunged to well below zero at the start of the week in Cumbria.</p>
<p>The man, whom police have not named, was in his 80s and also lay undetected overnight. Investigators are examining whether he fell or collapsed because of a medical &#8220;episode&#8221;.</p>
<p>Joan Rodgers, a neighbour who lives on Pinfold Street close to Mrs Jenkinson&#8217;s home, said she was shocked and saddened by the &#8220;awful&#8221; death.</p>
<p>She said: &#8220;I fell in my living room the other night and I couldn&#8217;t get up and was lying on the floor all night. At least I was inside. I wouldn&#8217;t have liked to have gone outside. Fancy going out in this weather, because it&#8217;s bad up here. I haven&#8217;t been out since Tuesday.&#8221;</p>
