Miranda Gerhardt
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
Miranda Gerhardt was the wife of Bruce, the paramedic whose body was taken over by the Bruce Master. On the night of 30 December 1999, Miranda was being kept awake by Bruce's snoring. The problem was solved when, unbeknownst to her, the Master's Deathworm killed him and took over his body. The next morning, she was killed by the resurrected Master when he broke her neck.
