A pensioner suffered an "inhumane" death after 28 days without food and water, her devastated son has claimed. Sarene Taylor suffered a stroke and died four weeks after she had food and fluids withdrawn at a hospital in North Wales, as she was sent back to a care home to die.
The 88-year-old died on Monday, March 20, and son Rob Taylor now plans to report the circumstances that led to his mother's death to North Wales Police and the Older People's Commissioner for Wales.
Rob, a former rural police officer, said the end-of-life care provided to his mother was "heartbreaking" for the family to watch, North Wales Live reports
