Overview

• The formal inquest, previously moved from July to October 2025, is now scheduled for 13–15 April 2026 after further postponement.
• Lauren and Liam Marsh say they learned of the latest delay via a relative and allege staff holidays were cited as a reason for witness unavailability.
• Initial explanations referenced dehydration and norovirus, a post-mortem noted Covid and flu, an interim certificate cited an inborn error of metabolism, and specialist tests the family obtained reportedly found no such disorder.
• The parents say Bonnie’s body was frozen to preserve samples without their consent, leaving them to wait four to five days before viewing her at the funeral home.
• They describe repeated hospital visits culminating in a fatal collapse on the third visit, report a lack of immediate bereavement support, and say police were not notified until the next morning; the coroner’s office declined to comment while the hospital offered condolences and said the full inquest will review the case.
