Retired football star Kevin Campbell's death at 54 has raised concerns from his family regarding the medical care he received. During a pre-inquest hearing, it was revealed that he suffered multi-organ failure due to infective endocarditis and had several hospital admissions prior to his death. A serious Level 5 patient safety incident was also reported at Manchester Royal Infirmary regarding his treatment, particularly a delay in diagnosis. The family seeks clarity on earlier hospital admissions, especially concerning a six-and-a-half week period where no underlying health issues were diagnosed.
Mr. Campbell, who also played for Nottingham Forest and Trabzonspor in Turkey, had been fit and well until around January 2024, indicating a sudden decline in his health.
The family have questions about the first admission, particularly regarding the six-and-a-half week duration with no clear cause identified, suggesting a critical lapse in care.
