While in the basement of the store she fell and received injuries which the jury has found aggravated a dormant cancerous condition and caused her death. The deceased lived for some months after the accident and plaintiff has been awarded damages for conscious pain and suffering of the deceased from the time of the accident to the time of her death, as well as the amount of pecuniary loss sustained by the beneficiaries of her estate for whose benefit this action is brought.
