Abbie Humphries, who was taken from a hospital in Nottingham, was diagnosed with grade-4 brain cancer four years ago
A woman who was snatched from a hospital maternity ward in 1994 - just hours after she was born - has died from a brain tumour. Abbie Humphries was taken from Queen’s Medical Centre in Nottingham by a woman posing as a nurse, sparking a nationwide manhunt
Doctors discovered a 5cm brain tumour in November 2020 when Abbie started getting headaches after her mother Karen died of breast cancer. Following her diagnosis in 2021, Abbie told the Mail on Sunday: “There is no point feeling angry or blaming anything. We have just had a terrible amount of bad luck. I usually choose to look at the positive side of everything. It makes everyone feel better.”
The family moved to New Zealand when Abbie was a child to start a new life after their ordeal and her husband said there will be a celebration of her life in Whenuapai, north-western Auckland, this weekend.
