Leeds hospital says sorry after famous musician died from 'rare' reaction to drug

A famous musician died due to a lack of oxygen to his brain after a 'rare' reaction to a drug prescribed for blood pressure.

Dumile Daniel Thompson, 49, a father of six and rapper who performed as MF Doom, died on October 31 2020 at St James's Hospital in Leeds, after he suffered respiratory arrest which led to his brain being starved of oxygen.

The NHS Trust has now apologised and said the care given to Daniel was not up to standard.
