Indian-origin nurse charged in death of 7-year-old in UK hospital

James, who suffered from a number of health conditions, including needing to be fed through a tube, bowel problems and epilepsy, had gone to the hospital on August 25, 2016, for a routine bowel operation. He was attached to the breathing equipment as he suffered from sleep apnoea, a condition that results in life-threatening pauses in breathing.

James' father had testified during the inquest that his son was playful and energetic after he regained consciousness following his surgery on August 25. But the parents received an early morning call from the hospital stating that James was unwell and they were required to come immediately.

After arriving, the parents observed that their son's eyes were partially closed and he had rashes all over his body. According to Daily Mail, the equipment was allegedly removed during the early hours of the morning, and James died on August 28.

Medical Dialogues team had earlier reported that chaos erupted at Jaya Arogya Hospital after the relatives ransacked the building, blaming the doctors for the death of a 75-year-old patient after his oxygen pipe was allegedly removed.
