A Motherwell Dad has died from a rare flesh-eating disease just days after he cut his leg while moving house.
David Hemmings passed away in hospital after he cut his leg on a box while undertaking his long-awaited move from top-floor flat to a house with a garden.
David had spent years struggling with the stairs at his flat and was looking forward to the move with his wife of 21 years, Margaret, 52. He had suffered from leg issues for years and was admitted to Wishaw General Hospital just days after the move, where doctors found a cut on his leg that had became infected, reports the Daily Record.
