Grandmother left to die of thirst

Grandmother, 75 'was left to die of thirst' after nurses refused to give her enough to drink | Mail Online: Irene Seddon, 75, developed kidney failure because she was deprived of fluids for more than a week over the Christmas period. Her health deteriorated at Whiston Hospital in Merseyside (UK) and she picked up a fatal case of pneumonia, dying five weeks later in February 2006.

Hospital chiefs admitted their care failed and have paid her family a five-figure sum in compensation.
