Mum begged for drugs for daughter's asthma... days later she was dead

A mother has told how her seven-year-old daughter with asthma died days after she 'begged' doctors to up her inhaler and medication.

Little Bonnie Haydon passed away in her mother's arms at Bristol Royal Hospital for Children on August 29 after suffering with asthma from a young age.

Her symptoms became more severe in July, according to her mother Tasmine Nichols, resulting in regular trips to Derriford Hospital in Plymouth.

Less than three weeks before her death, the grieving mother claims she asked healthcare professionals to increase the strength of Bonnie's inhaler and medication.

But, according to Ms Nichols, her request was denied and her child was sent home.
