A heartbroken wife of a 'loving' father has spoken out after paramedics failed to spot the signs of sepsis and left him at home to die just hours later.

Steve Holbrook-Sishton, a former teacher and college tutor, died unexpectedly in October 2021 when he developed sepsis after catching Covid-19.

Following the vaccine he developed a high fever and breathing difficulties. Then 10 days later, on October 26, he tested positive for Covid-19 and began experiencing further symptoms of confusion and poor urine output.

As his symptoms worsened, his wife Jan Holbrook, 70, called the NHS helpline after she became concerned he was showing signs of sepsis.

Paramedics reached their home more than an hour later but after an inspection they did not suspect sepsis and left.
