Ryleigh’s parents said they will be pursuing a medical negligence claim against Blackpool Victoria Hospital
A coroner has written to the health secretary to raise serious concerns following the death of a three-year-old girl in hospital in Blackpool . Blackpool and Fylde coroner Alan Wilson said he fears other children may die from the same rare condition as Ryleigh Hillcoat Bee unless steps are taken to ensure more doctors are aware of it.
Ryleigh died on November 8, 2021, from a cardiac arrest after being admitted to Blackpool Victoria Hospital the night before. She had been in hospital three months earlier, on August 9, after becoming lethargic and floppy, when a number of abnormalities were discovered – but it was only after her death they were found to be symptoms of a fatal metabolic disorder.
“There is a clear lack of awareness of the condition amongst paediatricians in general paediatric departments. In my view, there is a strong likelihood that previous cases of rhabdomyolysis in young children have been missed. What guidance is available appears to be very limited. In the event other young children attend a general paediatric department in the future for reasons connected to rhabdomyolysis, there is a concern the condition will go unrecognised and with fatal consequences.
