## Resource

An 80-year-old woman died after a cardiac arrest and pulmonary embolism following a fall that fractured her pelvis and hip — a tragedy now linked to the private hospital’s failure to administer preventative blood-thinning medication despite her extreme risk. Experts confirmed this treatment could have saved her life, and while not outright neglect, the missed care and lack of early clot-risk assessment likely contributed to her death. She also wasn’t given protective stockings for the first 48 hours. Doctors admit communication breakdowns may have occurred, and the hospital is now revising protocols to prevent future tragedies. Her husband, Sir Richard Branson, called her the “shining star” of their lives, honoring fifty years of love and laughter as the family seeks justice and systemic change.
