“Ryleigh died on November 8, 2021, just three months after being sent home from the hospital where she was born almost three years before.” “Instead of being told that Ryleigh had rhabdomyolysis and the parents being given advice on how to safely handle this, my clients were told that Ryleigh would get better as quickly as she got sick.”“We believe that Ryleigh’s death could have been prevented and have been instructed to pursue a medical negligence claim.” Andy Hillcoat and Caroline Bee, Ryleigh’s parents, said, “We are very sad about the death of our little girl.” I had to fight hard for a full investigation into her death. It has been a long and hard road. “We are heartbroken by the coroner’s decision, even though there is strong evidence that Ryleigh’s rhabdomyolysis flare-up in August 2021 could have been managed well.” “We believe that Ryleigh should still be here today, but she was not given any chance of survival.” President of Blackpool Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Chris Barben, said, “First, I want to send my deepest condolences to Ryleigh’s family and everyone who was touched by her life, both personally and on behalf of everyone at the Trust.”
