Family's fury over death of teenage girl who was given the sedative which killed Michael Jackson

Amie Miller, 15, died within days of being admitted to Basildon Hospital due to lethal swelling on the brain
A teenage girl died after a catalogue of failings at a hospital already condemned for poor care.
Amie Miller - who would have celebrated her 21st birthday this week - had been suffering agonising headaches while completing her mock GCSEs.
The 15-year-old student began vomiting and fitting on November 16, 2008, and was immediately rushed to Basildon Hospital A&E.
But she died within days of being admitted due to lethal swelling on the brain.
Last year a coroner ruled 'serious failings' in care at Basildon Hospital had contributed to her death.
The damning verdict came at the end of a three-day inquest at Chelmsford Coroner’s Court last September.
The inquest had heard that Amie was given Propofol - a powerful sedative blamed for the death of pop star Michael Jackson - despite it not being recommended for people under 18.

The inquest jury also found medics at the hospital missed a string of opportunities to save Amie’s life in 2008.
In a damning narrative verdict, they said staff had failed to take even the most basic steps – such as checking whether she could open her eyes, or examining the size of her pupils – which might have alerted them to her injury.
After the inquest, Amie’s stepfather Mbarek Aitmarri said the past five years had been torture.
He said the hospital – which is under special measures and is one of 14 singled out for having high death rates – had ‘evaded’ responsibility for her death and had failed to respond to 81 allegations of negligence they had lodged.
