NYPOST: Autistic hospital patient dies after being left to ‘starve to death’
A mother is calling for an investigation into the failings at a major Queensland hospital after her autistic son died from starvation while under the care of its doctors.
Stewart Kelly, 45, died at Robina Hospital in August last year from starvation and dehydration during a 33-day admission.
His devastated mother, Ann Jeffery, spent the entirety of her son’s life as his primary carer, making sure he was able to live a happy and fulfilled life.
“How can someone starve to death in a hospital?” Kelly‘s mother Ann Jeffery told “A Current Affair.”
“He was allowed to reach that critical state within the hospital system. How can that be?”
