BEREAVED parents of a teenage girl say hospital blunders have added to their grief.
Georgina Weaver, 19, died at East Surrey Hospital last August after suffering prolonged severe headaches, blurred vision and unsteadiness. But her mum and dad’s grief and anxiety over the cause of their daughter’s death was compounded when they learned she had lain in the hospital mortuary for almost a fortnight. And, it later emerged, the delay meant a satisfactory post-mortem examination could not be carried out, meaning invaluable lessons may have been lost. Miss Weaver was a former pupil at Warlingham School and studying animal care at college. She was admitted to hospital in October and then December 2012, both times with blinding headaches and vomiting, before being admitted a third time last August. Within two days she was put on a life support machine, but died two days later.
