"A Greek heiress who was found dead a day after her family claims she was sent home from a London hospital, sent messages to a friend saying nobody is checking up on me, nobody is coming before she was discharged. Marissa Laimou, 28, had been rushed to University College London Hospital (UCLH) by ambulance after she had visited a clinic on 10 September, complaining of dizziness, itching and a high temperature, relatives have said."
"The family has now accused UCLH of failing in its care for the 28-year-old. However, the following day, her housekeeper found her lifeless in her bed at the townhouse she lived in with her parents in Knightsbridge, central London. The coroner is investigating her death, but her family has said the official diagnosis given by doctors was toxic effect of venom caused by an animal or insect bite."
