Chloe s mother was so concerned about her daughter s condition that she slept in the same room with her that night and at 9am the next day called 111. A nurse came to check on her, who did not feel hospital was required, but only ten minutes after she had left Mrs Rideout called 999 and asked for an ambulance. Despite considerable efforts made by staff at the Royal Cornwall Hospital in Truro, Chloe fell into a coma and died on October 20, 2018. After hearing all the evidence, Mr Cox said he would focus his findings on the period of care received by Chloe at Derriford, saying: My narrative conclusion is that Chloe died from a known complication, sepsis, following a necessary surgical procedure, an appendectomy, to which neglect contributed.
Chloe Rideout, 20, died following treatment at Derriford Hospital in Plymouth, Devon, in October 2018.

Ross was really worried and kept going up to the desk and saying this is an emergency. He was told unless it was chest pain it wasn t an emergency and after around five hours she was admitted to a ward. The next day she told her mother on the phone that she didn t feel safe in the hospital because they hadn t done anything. She said she was concerned staff were putting her condition down to a drug she may have or may not have taken. Eventually doctors agreed it may be her appendix or an infection in her ovaries or fallopian tubes and agreed to operate.
