Overview

• Samantha Davis, wife of actor Warwick Davis, died on March 24, 2024, following a cardiac arrest just hours before her planned hospital discharge.
• The inquest confirmed her death was caused by arrhythmic cardiac arrest and complications from multiple thoracotomies necessitated by severe spinal issues linked to achondroplasia.
• Senior Coroner Fiona Wilcox found that the surgeries were successful, but complications and stress led to her cardiac arrest, despite excellent hospital care.
• Medical testimony revealed that Davis had been recovering well after her surgeries, with plans for discharge the day after her sudden cardiac event.
• The Davis family hopes the inquest findings will provide clarity and closure, as they continue to honor Samantha's legacy through advocacy and charitable work.
