Scots mum dies just weeks after daughter complained about horrific mould in flat

A Scots woman has been left heartbroken following her mum's tragic death - just weeks after complaining of the horrific damp and mould problem in her home. Pauline Jones recently passed away aged 57 from kidney failure, leaving behind her doting daughter Andrea Jones.

Following Pauline's diagnosis, Andrea spent much of her time caring for her sick mum, as well as her 16-year-old brother. The 32-year-old, who lived next door to her mum's council flat in Craigmillar, Edinburgh, would often accompany her to hospital three times a week for dialysis appointments, as well as cleaning her flat and collecting her shopping.

Just last month, Andrea complained about the mould and damp her mum was forced to live in as she battled kidney failure. Now, she has been forced to take unpaid leave from work in order to grieve for her loss, reports Edinburgh Live.
