A man is planning legal action over a pharmacy error which he believes caused his 82-year-old mother s death.
Rachel Sands, from Chatham, Kent, died several weeks after being wrongly sent antidepressants instead of her regular prescription.
Rocky Troiani said his mother s death, on New Year s Eve, had left his family broken .
The Well Pharmacy chain said it is investigating whether its error played a part in Mrs Sands death.
Mr Troiani, who was his mother s carer, said he returned from a break to find her semi-conscious.
On checking her medication he discovered the antidepressant fluoxetine, instead of the water retention drug furosemide.
