Boy, 4, who died of sepsis was prescribed Calpol & discharged from hospital four times

THE parents of a four-year-old boy who died of sepsis after being prescribed Calpol hope to get answers at an inquest which starts today.

Lindita Alushi and Kastriot Klosi took son Daniel to hospital four times in the week before his death — but he was repeatedly discharged.

During the second and third visits the couple claim doctors advised them to give their autistic son Calpol and Ibuprofen.

On their fourth visit to the Royal Free in Camden, North London, Daniel was admitted to the children’s emergency department with sepsis.

He died hours later on April 2, 2023.

His mum ­Lindita, 44, a qualified doctor in her native Albania, said: "We still struggle to understand what happened to Daniel and why.

"We kept taking him to hospital and were really concerned about his condition but nothing can prepare you for being told your little boy has died.

"That day our family changed forever. Our days are filled with distress, emptiness and sorrow.

"He loved cooking and baking with me.

"He loved animals, listening to stories and playing with his friends. Daniel was very inquisitive and curious.

"He was just an absolute delight.

The inquest at Poplar coroner’s court in ­Hackney, East London, is expected to last two days.
