2-year-old boy found lifeless, huddled next to his daddy: the man had suffered a heart attack two weeks earlier
January 20, 2024
A child only 2 years old was found lifeless, curled up next to his daddy. The man had been deceased for about 15 days, following a sudden illness. The 2-year-old boy, after the sudden death of his daddy, found himself at home alone, without food or water. According to the autopsy, he died of hardship within a few days. He lay down next to his daddy, perhaps trying to call him and wondering why he was not waking up. The tragic discovery came after concern from social services, who were waiting to hear from Dad. After opening that door, the scene was devastating. Little Branson Battersby was lifeless, curled up next to his daddy. He was still wearing his jammies. An autopsy revealed that the two-year-old boy died from lack of food and dehydration. The dad, on the other hand, Kenneth Batterby (60) had been deceased for at least 14 days following a heart attack. The man probably had not even had time to seek help.

Sarah Healey was a registered nurse who had worked in the Accident and Emergency Department of Wrexham Maelor Hospital.

Two dads “died suddenly”:
Beloved dad dies on 'holiday of a lifetime' after falling ill on plane enroute to wedding
January 20, 2024
A dad tragically passed away on his 'holiday of a lifetime' to Australia, just days before he was set to marry his long-term partner. Jeff Walker was on a trip with his fiancée, Donna Jones and her 14-year-old son Aaron when he suddenly fell ill. The couple had been engaged for six years and were planning to get married while visiting friends in Australia. They started their journey from Manchester Airport on December 18, spending three days in Dubai before heading to Australia, but Jeff became unwell on the plane. Jeff collapsed near the plane toilets and was quickly taken to Royal Perth Hospital. Just five hours later, the 57-year-old was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). Donna revealed that Jeff had shown no signs or symptoms of leukaemia before the diagnosis. He felt tired while they were in Dubai, but nothing seemed out of the ordinary. Acute leukaemia is fast and aggressive, which means treatment usually needs to start immediately. Donna said he was his usual "chatty" and "very happy" self in the days after being admitted to hospital. But after struggling with a CPAP machine, used to help patients breathe while they sleep, it was decided Jeff would be sedated and put on a ventilator. Sadly, this was the last time Jeff was conscious. He passed away in hospital on Christmas Day.
Healthy dad of three, 27, died after catching the flu
January 17, 2024
Warwickshire - A fit and healthy dad-of-three has died, aged, 27 after contracting the common flu. Quenten Thomas suddenly fell ill and was rushed to the hospital struggling to breathe, reports The Mirror. His father, Robert Thomas, said: "It hurt really bad when he coughed, and he was having trouble catching (his) breath." Despite having no prior medical conditions or illnesses, Quenten's health rapidly deteriorated. Robert said: "He went to the hospital asking for oxygen first." After his initial visit to the hospital, they sent him home advising rest, food, and plenty to drink. But Quenten ended up back in the emergency room, where doctors took his low blood oxygen levels seriously and started treatment. Quenten was put on a ventilator and slipped into a coma. He died on January 6, leaving behind an eight-year-old daughter, an 11-month-old son, and a one-month-old daughter. "It's unbelievable," said Robert, saying his son was a "healthy, hard-working young man," and saying "there was no quit in him". The number of flu patients in England is continuing to climb, with more than 1,500 people in hospital with the virus at the same time as junior doctors began their latest strike action.

on the ireland list Jason (Jay) Hennessy was a crime gang hit...he was shot in a restaurant on christmas eve and died a few days later
The tragic heart breaking story of the two year old UK boy dying from dehydration and starvation next to his dead father is beyond words for me. There are also news articles in Italy where elderly people who live alone have died and weren't discovered for weeks. As friends, neighbors and communities we need to be vigilant and aware when we don't see a neighbor for a few days.
