The daughter of England cricketer Steve James was 'dismissed' by doctors multiple times before her death in hospital, an inquest heard.
Bethan James, 21, daughter of the ex-Glamorgan star passed away just a day after being admitted to the University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff on February 9, 2020.
Her sports journalist father had been covering the Six Nations rugby match between Wales and Ireland in Dublin when his daughter was taken seriously ill. But due to weather delays he was unable to get home and see her before she died.
The inquest, which opened at Pontypridd Coroner's Court, heard how Bethan, a journalism student with dreams of advocating for those with Crohn's disease, had been battling severe symptoms for weeks, The Daily Record reported.
A post-mortem examination found Bethan died from a combination of sepsis, pneumonia and Crohn’s disease.
