Bilborough family's wait for answers after beloved man's unexpected death

A Nottingham family are still waiting for answers more than a year after a beloved husband, father and grandad passed away. Sean Durcan, of Bilborough, died on December 31, 2021, from a blocked heart stent, but his family have shared their frustration as they claim there are questions over why more was not done to help the 59 year old.

Mr Durcan had gone to his GP at Grange Farm Medical Centre, Bilborough, on December 7, 2021, after suffering from pain in his chest, neck and jaw. The father of five had previously had stents put in his heart in 2015 after he suffered a mild heart attack at home and then a cardiac arrest in hospital.

The family said Mr Durcan returned home after his appointment in high spirits, informing them there was not a problem with his heart, and he had just had a bit of indigestion and anxiety. However, following his death, the family is calling for answers as to why Mr Durcan was not sent for an ECG (Electrocardiography), and they say he did not have his blood pressure or heart rate measured.
