The grieving family of a "gentle giant" grandad are "disgusted" at the care he received at a Nottinghamshire hospital before his death from a type of pneumonia. Paul Upex, 65, died at King's Mill Hospital, in Sutton-in-Ashfield, on April 27, 2022, four days after admission.
He was devoted to grandsons Byron and Ellis, granddaughter Emily, son Karl, and son Simon, who sadly passed away seven years ago. His devastated neice, Lindsay Hall, described him as a man who had a lot of close friends and was "very likeable".
"He was just a gentle giant," she said. "Everybody knew and loved him, and he would do anything for anybody".
