Chaos erupts in court as parents escorted from room after investigation into schoolgirl's death finds 'natural causes'
manchestereveningnews.co.ukPolice were called in after the family of a 12-year-old girl reacted angrily to a coroner's ruling that there was 'insufficient evidence' to say that a delay by hospital staff in carrying out a head scan contributed to her death.
Described by loved ones as a 'beautiful girl who would light up a whole room', Victoria Olabode, from Rochdale, died at the Royal Manchester Children's Hospital on July 15, 2019, after suffering a stroke.
Victoria, who had Sickle Cell Disease, was transferred there from North Manchester General Hospital 13 days earlier. On July 5, three days after her admission, she suddenly developed a 'severe' headache and began vomiting.
