Chris Baker Obituary, Death – Chris Baker, the Essex Middle School is in mourning at the passing of a man who was from Romford. At the time of his death in 2019, Christopher Baker, a resident of Romford who worked in the field of information technology, passed away owing to heart failure. After being diagnosed with inherited cardiomyopathy in 2015, he was received therapy at St. Bartholomew’s Hospital, where he was under the care of cardiologists. He was undergoing treatment for his condition.
Despite the fact that his medical team accepted that he would benefit from being equipped with a device that prevents heart attacks, he was never placed on the waiting list for the device due to flaws in the system. This was the case despite the fact that they acknowledged these benefits. “Christopher didn’t just fall through the system once, but twice, at a time when he needed it the most,” said Heidi Page, who has been his partner for sixteen years. “Christopher fell through the system twice.”
“If you had the chance to meet Christopher, you would never forget him because he was so wonderful, funny, and friendly. He would leave an indelible mark on your heart.” As a result of the fact that we had planned our future together, but now that the opportunity has been taken away from me, I will be responsible for a great deal of things on my own.
A spokesman of the trust released the following statement: “We are deeply sorry for the care that was provided to Mr. Baker, which did not fall up to our high standards.” The lessons that we have learned from this experience have been extremely helpful, and we have therefore taken steps to ensure that it does not occur again.
