Summary

An eight-month-old baby’s tragic death sparks calls for a coronial inquest in Western Australia, as the health minister expresses support for the move while noting the clinical review found no negligence—only opportunities to improve care. The infant, Willow Katarina Horne, died from a rare, hard-to-diagnose heart condition called myocarditis, despite being admitted with breathing issues. The review identified key gaps in escalation, diagnosis, communication, and staffing, with seven recommendations already underway. Willow’s parents, devastated by the loss and feeling their daughter wasn’t transferred to a specialist hospital in time, insist an inquest is vital to prevent future tragedies.
