Margaret Keane died due to airway compression and was not appropriately assessed, ombudsman says.

The report from the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman said Mrs Keane collapsed in the street and stopped breathing on 28 March 2018. She went home on 17 May but returned to the hospital three more times because she was struggling to clean the tube.Margaret Keane pictured with her husband Bernie and their children, Caroline, Bernadette, Vincent, Michael, Margaret and Donna
The report said the tracheostomy should not have been removed on 25 July and added that Mrs Keane died due to airway compression likely due to the sudden enlargement of the enlarged thyroid gland. A PHSO spokesperson said: "We cannot change what happened but it's important that when things go wrong with someone's medical care, those mistakes are recognised and addressed, and action is taken to stop the same thing happening again."
