Her family claimed theatre producer Marissa Lemos, 29, was turned away from hospital before her death.

Greek media reported that she was found in bed at her London apartment by a housekeeper.

The daughter of Greek ship owners Diamantis and Bessy Lemos was said to have developed dizziness, itching and a fever three days before her body was discovered. Her family said she was prescribed paracetamol by a doctor who visited her home, but that failed to improve her condition.
