    Daily Mail Hospital patient died of thirst

    The Mail have excelled themselves, the entire article about some bloke dying from thirst all based on speculation.

    The inquest, expected to last three days, is scheduled to resume next week.
    Until the inquest is complete we won't know what he fucking died of!

    Although, his serious illnesses may have played some part in it.

    It doesn't look good for the hospital though.

    No, it doesn't look good if the national press just make stuff up about them.

    There's no proof that it does, it's tabloid bullshit.

    It's not entirely made up. Some of the witnesses seem to believe that he wasn't given the proper care. That may or may not be the case but they haven't made it up if some of the people involved believe so.

    People come out with all sorts of shit when a loved one dies. This woman has just seen her son die prematurely from a condition directly linked to brain cancer, she's bound to feel just as cheated and angry as her son did when he was diagnosed with it.

    Yes, but al I am saying is that the paper hasn't entirely made it up. They are going by what people have said. It may well be wrong, but they are just reporting what is being claimed.

    If that's the case it should be reported something like this: Mother claims hospital patient died of thirst

    They are making it up, the article states that the bloke died from thirst, yet the inquest haven't reached a decision yet.

    Yeah, but it doesn't sell so many papers though does it?
