A hospital was not ready for the tragic daughter of an England cricket star when she fell critically ill and there was no bed available for her, an inquest has heard.
Bethan James, 21, daughter of ex-England and Glamorgan batsman Steve James, may have survived if medics had given her the correct treatment for sepsis, Pontyridd Coroner's Court heard.
Ms James, who was a journalism student, died just a day after being admitted to the University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff on February 9, 2020.
Ambulance staff were called to her home when she fell gravely ill while her father was busy covering a Six Nations rugby match in Dublin.
She had been turned away by various doctors as her condition worsened over several days. But the health workers did not issue a pre-alert to the hospital to warn of Bethan's condition - and had to triage her on arrival.
