An inquest has determined that the daughter of a former Glamorgan and England cricket player could have been saved if she had received the appropriate care.
A post-mortem examination revealed that Bethan James, 21, from Cardiff, had died on February 9, 2020, and had died from a combination of sepsis, pneumonia, and Crohn’s disease.
She had been previously diagnosed with Crohn’s, according to the inquest at Pontypridd Coroner’s Court.
In the days leading up to her death, the hearing was informed that Ms. James had been hospitalized on numerous occasions.
She died the following day after her condition worsened and she was taken to a hospital on February 8.
Her mother informed the coroner that nowhere was the possibility that her daughter had sepsis.
Bethan received treatment at the University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff, according to the inquest.
Ms. James claimed that knowing that her daughter could have been saved would have saved her life. She also claimed that receiving the appropriate care and treatment for sepsis would have saved her.
Steve James, who was born in Gloucestershire and made his Glamorgan debut in 1985, is Bethan’s father.
Before resigning in 2004 due to a long-standing knee injury, he previously worked as an English journalist for the Times.
