"She then went to a London hospital and also saw her oncologist, who arranged for her to be sent to another hospital by ambulance. But family and friends said nurses, rather than doctors, examined her and concluded she did not need to be admitted. She was discharged in the early evening with antibiotics and a diagnosis that referred to an insect bite."
"Her mother, Bessy, told Greek media that toxic shock caused by an insect bite killed her, although it is currently unclear which type of insect bit her. She said: My daughter had survived cancer and died from an insect. She added: She was a girl with so many gifts, all of England is crying, all her doctors too. Relatives said a post mortem had not yet been carried out and would take about a week."

A post mortem is pending and the hospital has opened an internal investigation.
