Sir Nicholas Stadlen, 73
October 25, 2023
Nicholas Stadlen, who has died of mesothelioma aged 73, rose to the pinnacle of his profession as a commercial lawyer and high court judge before retiring early from the bench in 2013. Then he opened a new chapter by interviewing five survivors from among Nelson Mandela’s co-defendants and legal team at the Rivonia trial of 1963-64 for a documentary film, Life is Wonderful: Mandela’s Unsung Heroes. Nick was in awe of Mandela and the seven people who were convicted of attempting to overthrow the state by violent means and given life sentences; and of the legal team led by the barrister and underground activist Bram Fischer, for their selflessness and courage in being prepared to sacrifice their lives for the greater good. He wanted their values to be better known around the world but in particular among young people in South Africa, to ensure that their vision is kept alive, and that the country’s hard-won democracy endures.
Bill Kenwright: Everton chairman and theatre producer dies aged 78
October 24, 2023
Everton chairman Bill Kenwright, an acclaimed West End theatre and film producer, has died at the age of 78. He had been on the board at Everton since 1989, taking over as chairman at Goodison Park in 2004. The Liverpudlian was also one of the UK's most successful theatre producers and played Gordon Clegg in Coronation Street between 1968 and 2012. Kenwright was awarded a CBE for his services to film and theatre in the 2001 New Year’s Honours List. Everton said it was "in mourning" following the death of the club's longest-serving chairman for more than a century. "The club has lost a chairman, a leader, a friend, and an inspiration," Everton added. On 12 October, the Premier League club said Kenwright had a cancerous tumour removed from his liver six weeks before. Everton said the operation was "completely successful", but complications meant Kenwright required a "prolonged period in an intensive care unit". Announcing his death on Tuesday, Kenwright's family said he "passed away peacefully" on Monday night "surrounded by his family and loved ones".

Two infants “died suddenly”:
Addenbrooke's Hospital: Baby who died was not given routine vitamin [inquest]
October 27, 2023
A coroner has found there was "gross failure in medical care amounting to neglect" in the death of a baby who was not given a routine vitamin after birth. William Moris-Patto was born at Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge in July 2020 but died seven weeks later having suffered a brain bleed. Coroner Lorna Skinner KC said he would not have died had he been given vitamin K, néeded for blood clotting. The hospital trust has apologised. The inquest, held in Huntingdon, heard William was born premature at 34 weeks, on 27 July, and his mother had specifically asked about whether William had received a vitamin K shot. "So far as she can recall, when she asked if William had had all the necessary postnatal checks and care, a female member of the... staff said 'yes, everything's been done'," Ms. Skinner said. William stayed in hospital for two weeks, when he was discharged with a nasogastric tube, but became unwell overnight on 11 September and had been sick. His parents, from Chatteris, rang the NHS 111 service, which in turn led to an ambulance being called and William was taken to Addenbrooke's. Ms. Skinner said surgery was performed on William but clinicians "believed the damage to his brain was too great and he would never recover", and he died on 17 September.

Six mums “died suddenly”:
Mum's devastation as daughter, 29, dies from heart attack after being told she was okay
October 29, 2023
Lauren Page Smith, 29, had called 111 for advice when she started suffering chest pains and vomiting. Paramedics performed brief assessments, but it was later claimed they had "misinterpreted her electrocardiogram for testing heart - readings due to a lack of training." A post-mortem examination revealed Lauren, from Wolverhampton, died of a sudden heart attack following a blood clot in the lung. An ambulance service investigation found the clinicians felt "falsely reassured" Lauren’s condition was "not overly concerning" because of her age and she appeared well. Lauren’s mum Emma Carrington told Birmingham Live: "There are simply no words to describe how we feel as a family. Through no fault of her own my daughter does not have a future and my granddaughter will grow up never knowing her mother. Lauren had her whole life in front of her and that has been taken away. We believe because of her age and the fact she was calm the paramedics did not think she could be as ill as she was, and she did not get the care she néeded.” Sadly, she died just a few hours later, leaving behind her distraught family and her two-year-old daughter, who will now grow up without her mum.
‘Strong and passionate' Norfolk mum dies six weeks after cancer diagnosis
October 26, 2023
A young Norfolk mum has sadly lost her battle with cancer, after originally being told by dentists and GPs that she just had wisdom tooth pain. 31-year-old Jessica Robinson from Titchwell died on October 15 leaving behind her five-year-old daughter, Lilith as well has her loving mother and sister. Jessica worked at her local primary school and was about to begin her first year working as a teaching assistant before she became ill. She began to experience what she thought was wisdom tooth pain and attended many dentist and GP appointments with no real diagnosis. At the end of the school summer holidays, Jess was bed bound, in too much pain to move or eat. One more appointment with a doctor saw her heading to hospital for a chest X-ray where a shadow was found in her lungs. After biopsies and MRI scans, the family were told that she had cancer in her left lung, fluid around her heart and swelling in her brain. The family then received the devastating news that Jessica had stage four inoperable lung cancer. They were told that treatment could give her another 18 months but without it, she would only live for a maximum of six months. Sadly, Jessica never got well enough for treatment and the cancer spread, engulfing her whole left lung as well as her aorta and infusing into her spine. It was 45 days after her diagnosis that she sadly died.
Her mother-in-law died from a rare cancer. Weeks later her mum showed the same signs
October 29, 2023
A daughter has described her devastation as her mum was diagnosed with a supposedly rare cancer weeks after her mother-in-law had died from the same form of the disease. For the Earp family, from Spital in Wirral, they experienced losing not one loved one but two in less than a year. In an even more tragic turn of events, they both died from bile duct cancer - a supposedly rare form of liver cancer. Hannah Earp., 47, said: "It's been Groundhog Day for us for the last year we've had no time to grieve." It was only in the summer of 2022 that doctors finally found the cause of what was making Elsie ill when they discovered a tumour on her liver. Elsie was too ill for chemotherapy, and she passed away in October 2022, just days before she would have turned 82. Elsie's daughter-in-law said: "She passed away surrounded by her family the nature of the disease is debilitating, she couldn't do anything for herself in the last few days." Pain for the family was sadly far from over, as just days after the funeral Hannah's own mum, Patricia, started showing worryingly similar symptoms. Hannah said: “My mum was almost 10 years younger than Elsie but she started not being herself and I had a pit in my stomach because it felt like the same pattern again." In a tragic situation, Patricia’s final days were remarkably similar to Elsie, as both nans died surrounded by their family and their health deteriorated at a rapid rate. Bile duct cancer is still considered a rare cancer, but Hannah and the family's experience has made them think otherwise. Another event made Hannah begin to think about the rarity of the cancer. She said: "One night at the hospital I bumped into a lady whose sister also had the same cancer it made me think it really isn't that rare if three people on The Wirral have it. It gave me an overwhelming feeling I néed to raise awareness."
Heartbroken family rocked by double tragedy after their mum died from a catastrophic stroke just four months on from their dad's death
October 26, 2023
Scotland - A heartbroken Hamilton family have been rocked by a double death tragedy after their mum died from a catastrophic stroke four months after their dad passed away. Paula Black had been taken to Hairmyres Hospital in East Kilbride after experiencing weakness in her right arm and leg. The mum-of-five collapsed and was placed into a medically-induced coma. Doctors battled to save the 39-year-old but she was found to be brain dead on October 11. Paula, who has been described as "the life and soul of the party", leaves behind her five children Chloe, 23, and sons Shaun, 18, Kenzie, 16, Kevin, 12, and Caben, 4. Her death comes just four months after their dad, Jon-Jo Terry, also 39, died of a heart attack in June. Their devastated daughter Chloe will now assume guardianship over her siblings. The young mum-of-one told Lanarkshire Live's sister paper the Daily Record her family’s world has “come crashing down” following the death of her mum. Chloe, from Hamilton, said: “Heartbroken doesn’t come close to describing how we as a family are feeling. Our mum lived for her kids. She spent every day working and spending it with us. “
