Doctor Found Guilty of Negligent Manslaughter of Their Son

The grieving parents of a six-year-old boy who died due to negligent care said that 'life is now empty' after the doctor and nurse responsible were convicted of manslaughter.

Doctor Hadiza Bawa-Garba and nurse Isabel Amaro were both found guilty of manslaughter by gross negligence for failures that led to the death of Jack Adcock at Leicester Royal Infirmary.

The doctor had decided not to resuscitate the boy, who had Down's Syndrome, because she got him confused with a patient she saw earlier in the day who had a 'no not resuscitate' order on them.


After the verdict, his mother Nicola said: 'Our life now is empty, painful and will never be the same again.'
