Girl, 4, died of sepsis following 'missed opportunities' at hospital

Eva Hayden was rushed to Alder Hey's emergency department after she collapsed only weeks after Christmas in January 2020. She tragically died shortly after despite the best attempts by both Eva's father and paramedics to resuscitate her.
