A mum has paid tribute to her “happy, loveable and feisty” two-year-old daughter who died from rare complications following keyhole surgery.
Jess Moore – who suffered from the rare chromosomal disorder Wolf-Hirschhorn Syndrome whose main features include delayed growth and development, heart and kidney problems and seizures – passed away at the Great North Children’s Hospital at the Royal Victoria Infirmary in Newcastle two days after the operation in November 2019 to ease persistent vomiting.
An inquest into the little girl’s death held at Newcastle Coroner’s Court heard she suffered multiple-organ failure, and internal bleeding and liver damage complicated by her underlying health condition.
