Absolutely heart-breaking.
Beth Griffin was one of the youngest people to receive a heart transplant at just six months old in 1999. She sadly died at the same hospital on September 12, in 2022, after being admitted with chest pains, breathlessness and dizziness.
Beth, who worked as a carer, was transferred to the cardiac ICU at the hospital, and despite the doctor's best efforts to treat her, her condition continued to deteriorate rapidly. She suffered a cardiac arrest and although she was able to be resuscitated, she suffered a second cardiac arrest, which was fatal.
He added that medical interventions did not save her life, nor did they shorten it, and that the progression of her case was extremely rapid, which was "unheard of" in the experience of the doctors treating Beth. At the time of Beth's death, her mum Louise wrote: "There are simply no words to explain the love for Bethany from everyone but most of all from me, her mum. I'm simply broken. I'm not ok, I'm totally broken.
"I just want to thank everyone for their kind words, messages, flowers and for the love and support you have all shown me and my family - I'm overwhelmed with the amount of love and support."
