Premature baby thrown in bin by hospital staff who 'mistook body for unwanted bed linen'

Everleigh Victoria McCarthy was born at just two pounds - three months before her due date - and passed away just 12 days later, having developed a brain bleed.

Devastated parents Alana Ross, 37, and Daniel McCarthy, 38, are said to have begun planning a memorial service for their daughter before learning about what happened to her body.
