Inquest Reveals Neglect and Failures in Baby Hayden Nguyen’s Death
An inquest has found that serious failures in medical care contributed to the preventable death of six-day-old Hayden Nguyen in 2016. After spending £250,000 and seven years fighting for justice, Hayden’s parents, Alex and Tum Nguyen, succeeded in obtaining a second inquest that revealed the hospital’s neglect. The first inquest had inaccurately attributed his death to natural causes. The coroner found multiple care errors, including missed signs of septic shock, highlighting a need for systemic improvements in medical practices.
