It is a moment cherished by every father. As Gareth Burgess dressed for work, he heard his baby daughter Sophie utter the single word: Dadda.
Hours later, he would gaze into her panic-stricken eyes moments before she died after being given a massive overdose by bungling medics. I felt completely powerless, he said. That morning she had called me Dadda for the first time. Now she was looking at me with this frightened expression. She must have been in so much pain.
The tragedy unfolded after Sophie was rushed to hospital suffering from a fit. Devastatingly, Gareth and his wife Emma learned for the first time at an inquest last week that the 11-month-old should not even have been given the drug that killed her.
