US EditionHeartbroken Parents Fear Mouldy House Contributed to Death of 15-Week-Old Son
- The parents of 15-week-old Akram Mohammed, who died in February 2025 in north-west London, believe mould in their home contributed to his death.
- Akram's family repeatedly reported mould issues to their landlord, Notting Hill Genesis, but repairs and complaints processes were delayed amid concerns over the flat's condition.
- Pathology results showed Akram died of acute pneumonia caused by a late-onset Group B Strep infection, while an independent survey labeled the flat unfit for habitation due to mould and ventilation defects.
- Akram's father Abdushafi stated, "The mould helped to kill my son," and the family solicitor demands full answers as they urge urgent government action to implement Awaab's Law.
- The forthcoming inquest will examine Akram’s death circumstances, underscoring ongoing calls for landlords to adopt zero tolerance of damp and mould to prevent future tragedies.
