A doctor at the hospital where a 21-year-old died from a combination of sepsis, pneumonia and Crohn's disease has told an inquest he does not believe any treatment would have saved her.
Bethan James, daughter of former Glamorgan and England cricketer Steve James, died on 8 February 2020 at University Hospital Wales (UHW) in Cardiff after she had been seen at hospital on a number of occasions in the days leading up to her death.
Dr Duncan Thomas told Pontypridd Coroner's Court he was "astounded" at the speed of the deterioration in Ms James' health and that there was "no cure".
But an expert witness told the court he disagreed with Dr Thomas' assessment and said Ms James could have been saved.
