Louella Sheridan, who was born with a heart condition, died at Royal Bolton Hospital on April 24, 2022, just two months after she was born at the same hospital. The infant had undergone surgery at Alder Hey Children's Hospital in Liverpool but was discharged and returned home under the care of community nurses. Although she had health problems, she was expected to live a 'comparatively normal life, an inquest into her death was told.
