When Gaia Young arrived at hospital confused, vomiting and complaining of a severe headache, it was assumed she was drunk or on drugs.
She wasn't.
The 25 year-old from London died from swelling to the brain. But what caused it?
In this podcast Angela Walker talks to Gaia's mother Lady Dorit Young about her relentless campaign for answers to her daughter's death.
Was it an unavoidable tragedy, or the result of systemic failures?
Could Gaia have been saved if her illness was treated differently?
Why were crucial and routine tests not carried out, and could they have saved her life?
Why did the inquest leave more questions than answers?
