Chloe Middleton: death of 21-year-old not recorded as Covid-19
Source says coroner linked death to coronavirus but hospital took different view.

I thought there was something odd about that case

Yes someone died of undiagnosed heart failure on the playing fields while we were doing PE at school

Yes virtually all Coroners do have both a law and medical degree. They are very highly qualified.
But surely an inquest will decide if there is a dispute? I am not sure a dispute is that uncommon. I know when one of my relatives died the coroner said pneumonia but the hospital disputed that.

No it is rare for healthy young people to die unexpectedly. Yes it happens.

It just says that she didn’t test positive, almost certainly because she wasnever tested.

Perhaps, probably because there was no need to.

She had heart attack. A cough is s symptom of heart failure.

There was absolutely no reason to link this death to covid.

All the people who have been using her death as proof the government have been covering up deaths, need to really think about what they are doing. Jumping on stuff, to spread untruths.

I hope the media learn lessons from this. Highly doubtful.

Reporting something as emotive as the death of a healthy 21 year old from COVID-19 based only on the family's say so was incredibly irresponsible on a number of levels.

How awful that the family are now getting abuse over it

Its not true to say that most Coroners have BOTH medical and law degrees. The majority are from a legal background (many have experience in medical negligence or inquests) and of course they then undertake some further training to become a Coroner.

Also it would be very unusual for the actual medical cause of death to be changed in an inquest. Before an inquest is opened a Coroner will have either accepted the cause of death reported on the medical certificate by the doctor / hospital, or if that's not possible, they will order a post mortem, and the pathologist will confirm cause of death. Of course in a very small number of cases a medical cause of death is never established.

An inquest seeks to reach a conclusion about how someone came by their death e.g Natural Causes, Accident, Misadventure. The medical cause of death is one piece of evidence which assists the Coroner in reaching that conclusion.

Apparently not. Its sickening. Do they just deliberately scour hospitals looking for younger people that have died. Is that where the press/society is at?
