Young woman with cold and flu symptoms tragically dies within weeks of contracting Strep A

Heart breaking tributes have been paid to a young woman who 'was too sweet for this world' that tragically died weeks after developing cold and flu symptoms.

Bethannie Booth devastatingly sent loving goodbye messages to her family before she was put in a coma after developing sepsis while suffering with a severe Strep A infection.

The 24-year-old from Merthyr Tydfil even left instructions for her own funeral before she sadly passed away in intensive care on March 31 after five weeks of fighting her illness. Bethannie first started feeling poorly on March 2 and her health massively deteriorated over the next few days, Wales Online reports.
