New mum, 34, died after she got lost in hospital and was found unresponsive in stairwell

The family of a new mum who collapsed and died after she went missing in hospital hours after giving birth to her premature son say "basic and common sense measures", would've prevented her death.

Amanda Cox, 34, died on December 10, 2018, after she was found unresponsive in a stairwell at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh (RIE) after a five hour police hunt.

Mrs Cox from Peebles in the Scottish Borders, had just given birth to her son Murray when she is thought to have become disoriented after leaving the Neonatal Unit and exiting via a fire door.
