Baby Dies 24 Hours After Mother Dies From Swine Flu
The newborn son of a mother who was Britain’s first swine flu death has died.
Jacqui Fleming, 38, died on Sunday after giving birth to her son Jack at the start of the month. Jack was born three months prematurely near Glasgow at the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Paisley.
24-hours after passing away, Jack lost his battle for life.
His father, William McCann, said in a statement: “My beautiful son was born June 1, 2009 — 11 weeks early,”
“He suffered from a number of complications and despite his brave fight he passed away earlier this evening. Coming so soon after the death of his mom, this is an extremely distressing and difficult time for our family and I would ask the media to respect our privacy as we try to cope with the loss of Jacqueline and Jack.”
There are now 1,200 cases of swine flu reported in the UK.
