Mystery surrounds the death of an Upper Clatford woman who “lied” about having cancer before passing away.
Yong Nui Shield, known as Nui, passed away on October 19 2019 at the Royal Hampshire County Hospital in Winchester after being admitted on October 17 following a vomiting episode at home. She claimed to family members that she had liver cancer, but later admitted she had “made it up”.
The 61-year-old was found to have swallowed a significant amount of gout medication and wine to create the symptoms, and though she recovered on the ward, she had taken a fatal dose of the medication, and suffered a cardiac arrest before passing away.
