From Yorkshire Live:
Kim described how the 2022 started with a New Year’s Eve family party when Jasper and his sister Lily were allowed to stay up late. “Never in our darkest nightmares did the fact that Jasper would not be here 20 days later even enter our minds.”
She said: “It is hard to explain when you are 39 and 40 the feeling that the best times of your life may be behind you because from every moment going forward, everything is tinged with sadness that we can never explain. From family parties, holidays. all the way through to the lazy Sundays watching the F1 – there is a piece of us missing and this has broken all our hearts.
“We are devastated and our lives have been shattered. We have lost a beautiful bright shining light who had, we are sure, a wonderful future ahead of him. Instead, there is a huge Jasper shaped hole that can never be filled.”
Cont. from Express:
The inquest, held in Bradford, was told that Jasper may have had an abnormal heart rhythm. The hearing was told that, at the time of his death, Jasper had been suffering with Covid-19.
Post-mortem tests showed that there was no evidence that Jasper had inflammation of his heart, lungs or brain due to having Covid.
Professor Marta Cohen, a pediatric pathologist, told the hearing that it was ‘likely’ that Jasper had a heart arrhythmia. A GP who saw Jasper the night before he died said he hadn’t found anything major and had been shocked to discover that the boy had died.
Assistant Coroner Ian Pears concluded that Jasper had died of natural causes. He said no medical cause of death had been established, but that ‘unnatural causes’ of death had been excluded.
