Cricket Star's 'Beautiful' Daughter 'Dismissed by Medics' Before Death

  • Bethan Amy James, daughter of former cricketer Steve James, was admitted to University Hospital of Wales on February 8, 2020, and died the next day at age 21.
  • Bethan experienced worsening symptoms including high heart rate, respiratory issues, and right arm numbness, which doctors repeatedly dismissed before her death.
  • Despite multiple hospital visits and referrals, Bethan was not properly assessed or admitted early, with family reporting poor communication and missed diagnoses of possible pneumonia and sepsis.
  • Mrs James said, 'her life could have been saved,' and criticised the failure to implement a sepsis protocol amid chaotic hospital care and delayed treatment.
  • The inquest at Pontypridd coroner's court continues to examine systemic failings to prevent similar deaths and to improve care for patients showing serious infection signs.
