Girl, 4, dies of sepsis following 'missed opportunities'

A four-year-old girl who died following "missed opportunities" at hospital was a "caring little girl who loved to help people".

Eva Hayden was rushed to Alder Hey's emergency department after she collapsed just weeks after Christmas in January 2020. Despite best attempts by Eva's father and paramedics to resuscitate her, she died.

Since the young girl's death, hospitals have apologised to Eva's parents for 'poor communication' after a coroner called for changes to prevent future fatalities. It was previously reported that young Eva developed sepsis after her family weren't warned of the risks of a condition being investigated and susceptibility to infection.
