A MUM claims medics failed to spot a deadly condition in her 24-year-old son after he ran naked through wards and punched her in the face. Milo Peart died on July 4, 2020, after sodium levels in his blood dropped below normal, causing his brain to swell . 7 Gihan El Halwagi, 58, said medics failed to spot signs of hyponatremia in her 24-year-old son Milo Credit: PA Real Life 7 Milo suddenly began behaving erratically in July 2020 and passed away within days Credit: PA Real Life 7 Milo wasn't transfered to the ICU when tests showed that sodium levels in his blood were dangerously low Credit: PA Real Life This is a condition known as hyponatremia , but doctors didn't spot it until it was too late.
Milo’s mother, Gihan El Halwagi, 58, from Soberton, Southampton, watched in horror as her son’s condition deteriorated over 36 hours and his behaviour became increasingly erratic. A coroner ruled that Milo’s premature death was partly due to the “gross failure to provide basic care” that amounted to “neglect” and said opportunities to potentially save his life had been missed. “Milo’s death should not have happened,” Gihan told PA Real Life .
“It is unforgivable, there is no amount of words that I have, something like that should just never have happened. “I have had a really tough time since Milo died. "I can’t bring him back, but I can try and stop something like this from happening again.
" The mum-of-three is now campaigning to stop “preventable deaths�.
