Police 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. She was treated for her pain but her mother had 'persistently' asked for a CT scan to be carried out. Yet this was not done until July 8, when Victoria suffered a 'prolonged seizure.'

She suffered a second seizure later that day and was afterwards admitted to the hospital's pediatric intensive care unit. Radiology confirmed she had suffered an ischaemic brain injury. She was deemed to fulfill the criteria for brain stem death on July 12 and on July 15 her ventilation was withdrawn leading to her death.
An inquest into her death heard six days of evidence in December last year and February this year. Giving his conclusion this morning (Wednesday, April 10), Area Coroner Zak Golombeck said he found it was a 'failure' that a CT or MRI scan was not carried out on July 5 or 6 'when it was clear that Victoria was suffering serious neurological symptomatology.'
"Victoria was in sickle crisis, and it was imperative for a neurological event to be excluded by neurological

Aussie icon and conservationist Steve Irwin died, killed by a stingray while filming on the Great Barrier Reef.It’s a death that sent shockwaves around the world as The Crocodile Hunter was a global brand with legions of fans from across the globe.Even today, nearly 18 years later, it’s a death that hits plenty of people hard — and has classed stingrays as deadly and dangerous.It’s something that momentarily crossed my mind when I was sent for a stingray experience on a recent assignment to New Zealand.But what I found was the complete opposite and a new appreciation for a tragically misunderstood animal.Stingrays are prevalent across Australia and New Zealand with the animals living in coastal waters and in warm and tropical areas and migrating in cooler months.While stingrays have the ability to kill with their barbs, reportedly fewer than 20 people have been killed worldwide by stingrays since 1945, with just five in Australia.To put it into perspective, 91 people died falling out of bed in Australia in 2022, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics.More common are injuries from the stingray barbs, which release a complex venom that is painful if struck, but the injuries are generally treated with hot water immersion, unless there’s a deep puncture.It is recommended if you are stung by a stingray to seek medical attention as it may also require a tetanus shot or an inspection to ensure none of the barb remains in the injured area.But in the wild, more likely the old adage “they’re more scared of you than you are of them” comes to mind.Often the biggest issue is stingrays being stepped on by people, or the stingray getting a fright and feeling it needs to defend itself.It makes experiences like those offered at

temporary injunction blocking Paxton’s office from demanding the information, writing that “immediate and irreparable injury, loss, or damage will result to PFLAG and its members” if Paxton’s office is able to obtain information about the group’s members, which number close to 600 in Texas alone. Under the terms of the restraining order, Paxton’s office may not attempt to stop PFLAG from operating for refusing to hand over documents and identifying information about its members, especially those who may have reached out to the national pro-LGBTQ advocacy group to determine how to seek gender-affirming care out of state.Paxton’s office may also not demand information from PFLAG revealing the identities of its members, officers, employees, lawyers, volunteers, or donors.Paxton’s office claimed their demand for PFLAG documents, issued in early February, was part of an effort to investigate whether medical providers were violating Texas’s law banning them from prescribing gender-affirming treatments like puberty blockers and hormones to minors.PFLAG filed a lawsuit last month asking for a temporary restraining order and relief to protect the identities and privacy of its members.
