HISTORICAL FACTS: Cheeky and much loved girl 9 collapsed and died the day after testing positive for covid - Caught on Camera

A much-loved 'cheeky' young girl from Tameside collapsed and died the day after testing positive for Covid, an inquest heard. Fatima Shamriaz, nine, tested positive on a lateral flow device last September after developing a temperature.

However she then suddenly deteriorated and collapsed the following morning. The alarm was raised with paramedics rushing to the family home in Ashton-under-Lyne.

She was taken to hospital but extensive resuscitation attempts were unsuccessful. A post-mortem found she died of multi-organ failure caused by Broncho-pneumonia and Covid-19 pneumonitis.
