| She recorded a narrative verdict, ruling that Sean died from a cerebral haemorrhage, thrombosis and a congenital heart defect. | |
| The vital corrective surgery took place six weeks before he died in March 2012. | |

| During the hearing, the court was told the ward had staffing problems and did not have a high-dependency unit at the time of Sean's death. |
