US EditionDaughter of Conspiracy Theorist Died From Cancer After Rejecting Chemotherapy
- Paloma Shemirani, a 23-year-old Cambridge graduate, died in July 2024 from a heart attack caused by a tumour in Sussex, England.
- Paloma was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in December 2023 and was told chemotherapy offered an 80% chance of recovery, but she refused treatment under her mother Kate's influence.
- Kate Shemirani, a former NHS nurse turned conspiracy theorist, promoted anti-medicine views and advised Paloma to reject chemotherapy in favor of alternative therapies like Gerson therapy.
- Paloma's brothers Gabriel and Sebastian blame their mother's conspiracy beliefs for Paloma's death and have initiated a legal case while urging social media firms to combat medical misinformation.
- An inquest is scheduled next month to investigate Paloma's death, which highlights risks for patients exposed to anti-medicine misinformation promoted by influential figures.
