'Huge coincidence' surrounding death of RAF nurse after tuberculosis diagnosis

The parents of a Nottinghamshire nurse are 'hoping to get the answers' they long for as they heard more evidence surrounding their daughter's death at a pre-inquest hearing. Carrianne Franks, a sergeant nurse in the RAF, died on August 27 last year - 24 hours after she was diagnosed with tuberculosis.

The 30-year-old nurse had been taken to Lincoln Hospital with an unknown illness. She was released from the hospital and, three days later, she was taken to the Bassetlaw Hospital in Worksop.

Further evidence surrounding her death was given at Nottingham Council House on Friday, March 10. Nottingham Coroners' Court was told that another patient at the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital - where Ms Franks was also working - had been diagnosed with the disease.
