Overview

• A mother told the BBC she found her dead son propped in a baby bouncer "watching" cartoons in Amie Upton’s living room, with another infant’s body on the sofa.
• Another couple said they later discovered their stillborn daughter had been kept at Upton’s house rather than a funeral parlour, and questioned whether she was stored at the correct temperature.
• The BBC reported seeing evidence that babies in Upton’s care were not always kept in a refrigerated cold cot, though she had one available.
• Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust says it barred Upton from its mortuaries and maternity wards in spring 2025 and has monitored her mortuary visits under safeguarding measures since 2021.
• West Yorkshire Police say two reports about Florrie’s Army since 2021 led to no identified offences, and the case has renewed attention on the absence of statutory regulation in England and Wales, unlike Scotland’s new code.
