Downpatrick parents' heartache as they bury their child days after he is sent home from A&E

Caylan Milligan and Charlotte Curran would have been preparing for their son to start nursery at the end of the month - instead, they today visited his graveside.

Jaiden Milligan died in hospital on Sunday July 17, after attempts to resuscitate the three-year-old were unsuccessful. His parents, both from Downpatrick, are now hoping that they get answers to questions they have surrounding the child's death.

On Thursday July 14, they took him to the Ulster Hospital A&E after noticing he was unwell, not eating his food and coughing. They say he was sent home after a five minutes assessment and given a probable diagnosis of a sinus infection. He died three days later, with preliminary results showing he had multiple problems with his heart.
