An inquest has revealed the heartbreaking story of how a mother and father were made to feel like “over-anxious parents” after their baby boy collapsed just three days after being sent home from the hospital. Freddie Beaumont, who was just three weeks shy of his second birthday, suffered a cardiac arrest at his home and was rushed to Salford Royal Hospital but tragically could not be saved.
The incident took place after Freddie, described by his mother as a “very smiley little boy,” had been discharged from the pediatric department of the hospital just a few hours earlier. During his visit to Salford Royal on November 19, 2022, a doctor diagnosed him with bronchiolitis, a common lung infection. However, following his death, a post-mortem found that Freddie had died from a Strep A infection, leading his devastated mother to question the initial diagnosis and care he received, reported Daily Record.
