A devastated father brought his daughter to A&E three times before she was admitted to the ICU where she later died of Strep A, the Mirror can reveal.
Stella-Lily McCorkindale, five, is the ninth child to die from Strep A in the UK as an outbreak has left parents worried for their children.
Robert McCorkindale, from Belfast, Northern Ireland, says his "amazing" daughter started feeling unwell on the weekend of November 26 with a cold and temperature.
