And so once again, the doctors pulled her parents aside into this office to discuss how and why this might have happened.

But within 90 seconds of her parents leaving Claire's bedside,

she had collapsed again and stopped breathing again.

Beverly tried to resuscitate Claire again, but she couldn't do it.

And so she raised the alarm for further help.

They rushed to the bedside and they were doing everything that they could, but Claire was just far too weak and they just couldn't bring her around.

And it was then when Claire Peck's heart stopped.

and she was pronounced dead.

She passed away with her parents at her bedside.

And the nurses remember this being one of the saddest days that they had ever worked.

Literally every nurse, every doctor on that ward was sobbing because they all knew Claire quite well at this point.

Like I said, she was always in the hospital for her asthma and she had just the most gorgeous little smiling bright face and all the staff loved her.

it was like they were all losing a family member.

Claire's body was sent off for an autopsy so that they could figure out how this happened, but the coroner just ruled her death as natural causes.

And a lot of people were satisfied with that, but not everyone.

There was a pediatric consultant at Grantham and Kesteven Hospital named Dr. Porter, and he was alarmed at the amount of just random cardiac arrests and respiratory attacks that had been happening over the last like two months in that hospital.

He was actually so concerned that he opened a formal inquiry, thinking that something was going on here.

Now, when I say he thought something was going on, he never for one second thought that someone was intentionally hurting these children.

He just thought that some protocols needed changing.

Something was going wrong with how the nurses were trying to deal with these children, if that makes sense.
