The family of a man found out he had been declared dead by hospital staff on his medical records.
Colin Dawson, who is 76, apparently died for a period of two minutes in May. However, his daughter said she only learned about this when she saw 'RIP' on his medical notes much later.
Pam Le Ballois said the discovery is just one incident of many that her family have had with the Countess of Chester Hospital NHS Trust since her dad, who is from Chester and has Parkinson's disease, was admitted to the hospital after falling ill in a restaurant in the city back in April. Pam fears that her dad's health has declined to a point where this could be his last Christmas.
