BBC broadcaster Jenni Murray died on 12 March 2026 from bronchopneumonia — a chest infection — caused by rib and sternum fractures from a car crash eight days earlier, Barnet coroner Tony Murphy ruled. Murray, 75, was dazzled by headlights and struck two stationary cars on Wildwood Road near Hampstead Heath on 4 March.
