The heartbroken parents of a five-year-old boy who died in hospital claim they heard hospital staff laughing as their son's life support machine was switched off. Haroon Rashid, 41, says he was forced to say goodbye to his son, Muhammad Ayaan Haroon, while "insensitive" medical staff in the same room were giggling in the background.
The devastated father says only a thin curtain stood between themselves and the laughing medics as they watched their beloved son take his last breath, the Mirror reports. Haroon has now submitted a formal complaint about the conduct of the staff after a relative had to go and ask them to be respectful during Ayaan's final moments..
Bosses at Sheffield Children's Hospital have promised to conduct a thorough investigation into the family's claims. Little Ayaan had been admitted to the hospital on March 5 with breathing difficulties and sadly passed away on March 13.
