Ryleigh Hillcoat-Bee died of complications caused by a rare muscle disorder which affects just one in 200,000 people in the UK.
The parents of a three-year-old girl who died of an extremely rare condition say they are "distraught" knowing their daughter's death could have been avoided.
Her family had also searched online for possible causes of her illness, with the condition she eventually died from coming up immediately. Despite medical colleagues from Leeds advising further investigation into her symptoms, this was not followed up by hospital staff in Blackpool, the inquest heard.
Three months later, she was admitted to hospital after becoming unwell again and died on 8 November 2021 following a cardiac arrest.Ryleigh’s parents, Andrew Hillcoat, 40, and Caroline Bee, 44, described their daughter as "always happy and giggling", who "loved Peppa Pig, carrot sticks and peas." "We accept that getting to the bottom of what caused the rhabdomyolysis could only have been done through a specialist unit.
