End to family's wait for answers after tragedy of ten-day-old who 'would have survived' with proper care

A family's heartbreaking wait for answers over the death of a ten-day-old twin baby is finally coming to a close more than three years after the tragedy.

Kingsley Olasupo and his twin sister, Princess, were born slightly premature in Royal Bolton Hospital on April 8, 2019, when mum Nicola Daley was 35 weeks pregnant. The pair were both doing well at birth but Kingsley's low weight, the presence of meconium - a newborn's first poo - at birth, and his premature nature were all risk factors for infection.

Princess was thriving as a newborn but Kingsley wasn't feeding well, and had a low temperature, meaning he had to be admitted to the special care baby unit at just three-days-old. His condition kept deteriorating, and the next day he was diagnosed with bacterial meningitis and sepsis.
