A pregnant mum who died from a catastrophic blood clot after a series of tests was 'let down', an inquest has heard. A doctor admitted there were 'significant failings' in the care of Laura Barnes., who collapsed and died in May 2022.
After her collapse, Laura, who was pregnant at the time, gave birth via emergency caesarean section to Dexter. She never regained consciousness and, in a double tragedy for her family, however, he died two months after his mother, who never got to meet her son.
