Girl, 10, dies after having 17% of body cut away when black mark appeared on leg

A couple who tragically lost their 10-year-old daughter have warned parents about the seriousness of Strep A after their little girl died of an infectious condition four years ago.

Dermot and Lilly Murphy from Cork saw their beloved Vivienne pass away in March 2019 just over a fortnight after complaining of a sore throat and feeling unwell.

Little did they know at the time, but Vivienne’s condition was to deteriorate rapidly and the horrors they all had to endure in the following few days is something her parents will never get over, reports the Irish Mirror.
