Mum's anti-chemo views influenced daughter's death

Paloma Shemirani, from Uckfield in East Sussex, died in July last year - seven months after she was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Ms Shemirani, 23, had declined chemotherapy in favour of juices and coffee enemas advocated for by her mother, Kate Shemirani, a former nurse who was struck off for her anti-vaccination views. Coroner Catherine Wood said at Kent and Medway Coroners Court on Thursday: "The influence that was brought to bear on Paloma... did contribute more than minimally to her death."
