Dad dies after 200 hours in A&E with 'ulcer' which turned out to be aggressive cancer

A dad-of-two who spent around 200 hours in A&E has died after his 'stomach ulcer' turned out to be terminal cancer.

Danny Johnston sadly passed away on February 17, just one month after he received the heartbreaking diagnosis, the Mirror reports. The 47-year-old attended Countess of Chester Hospital on several occasions after suffering from symptoms including vomiting blood from August, 2022.

During this period, he was also rapidly losing weight, going from 13.5 stone to less than 10 stone. His grieving wife Charlene, from Hoole in Chester, said she was only told that Danny had cancer by an agency nurse in A&E after he fell ill following a scan on January 14.
