Coroner calls for public inquiry into handling of pandemic at end of Mary Agyeiwaa Agyapong inquest
The widower of a 28-year-old nurse, who died after giving birth last April after contracting Covid-19, has said that her sudden death was the “hardest pain to bear”, and that it was “difficult to believe that she lost her life to the virus” following an inquest into her death.
Delivering a narrative conclusion at the inquest on Tuesday, the coroner, Emma Whitting, ruled that Mary Agyeiwaa Agyapong’s death was a result of multiple organ failure and Covid-19 and urged the prime minister to conduct a public inquiry into how the pandemic had been handled.
