A little boy suffered a devastating cardiac arrest in the days before his sudden, tragic death - and doctors cannot say for sure why it happened.
Blake James Mitchell was a ‘happy and normal’ three-year-old, who loved his days in nursery and loved time playing at home with his mum and dad even more, heard Rochdale Coroners Court today (February 21). The joyful little one had appeared to be completely healthy and was meeting all of his milestones, until he experienced an unexpected febrile seizure in November 2020 and in March 2022.
Blake’s seizures were believed to be brought on by high temperatures which would come on without notice, but his parents were advised by doctors that they may not happen again. Just two months later, Blake had a major cardiac arrest and died days later in intensive care.
