Upset as inquest halted into death of A&E boy, 5

A FAMILY are “disappointed” that an inquest into the death of a five-year-old days after he was sent home from A&E has been adjourned over new claims.

It was halted after questions were raised over whether he may have had an underlying genetic condition.

Relatives of Yusuf Nazir arrived at Sheffield coroners court yesterday for the start of a planned five-day inquest into his death.

But after a morning of discussion about information which had just come to the court’s attention, assistant South Yorkshire coroner Rebecca Connell adjourned the hearing for further investigations.
