Lisa Shaw death: Legal action 'only option' for husband
April 5, 2024
The husband of a BBC presenter who died due to complications from the AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine says taking legal action is his only option. Lisa Shaw, 44, who worked for BBC Radio Newcastle, died in May 2021 a week after her first jab. Gareth Eve said despite trying to "engage with the government, MPs and three prime ministers" no one had "reached out" in return. The Department of Health said all vaccines had "undergone robust trials". Father-of-one Mr. Eve is among a group of families who lost loved ones, allegedly to side effects caused by the vaccine, who are suing the makers of the Oxford-AstraZeneca jab. He said: "It's not in my make-up to turn around and say I want to sue somebody, but for almost two years we've tried to engage with the government and tried to engage with MPs since Lisa died and not one of them has reached out or engaged with us at all.” In August 2021, Newcastle coroner Karen Dilks said Ms Shaw had died from a very rare "vaccine-induced thrombotic thrombocytopenia", a condition which leads to swelling and bleeding of the brain. Mr Eve said: "These things have happened to too many people, and we're made to feel like it's a dirty secret, that we're talking about something we shouldn't be talking about”.

Healthy mum of two who died suddenly was found ‘unresponsive’ in Portugal hotel room (inquest - died May 2022)
April 11, 2024
Greater Manchester - A Wigan mum of two found unresponsive in her hotel room tragically died from natural causes, an inquest has heard. Susan Sherman, of Clifton Road in Ashton-in-Makerfield, went on holiday to Portugal alone in May 2022, an inquest into her unexpected death at Bolton Coroner’s Court on Wednesday morning (April 10) was told. The 59-year-old, who had worked as a sales assistant for 17 years, would go on holiday twice a year and ‘enjoyed the freedom’ of solo travelling. After not hearing from their mum despite several attempts to reach her, Susan’s daughters became concerned and contacted the hotel where she was staying. The hotel’s staff rang Susan’s room at 10.30 pm that evening but did not receive a response. It was decided housekeeping staff would check on her the next morning. Christina’s fiancée Darryl Flemming then spoke to hotel staff and insisted that they check on Susan. Just before midnight they broke into her room and sadly found her lying on the floor unresponsive. An ambulance was called, and it was tragically confirmed that Susan had died. A post-mortem was carried out in Portugal by Dr Silva Roubaco, a forensic medical expert, who concluded Susan had suffered a heart attack and died of natural causes.
