Speaking about her late partner, Ms O’Hagan said: “I just thought ‘How can this be happening? He went to A&E nearly a week ago and they sent him home.’<\/p>\n
“It just didn’t seem to make sense. It was so unexpected, it was like a nightmare.”<\/p>\n
A spokesperson for Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust said: “We have discussed his sad death with Ms O’Hagan, and we are undertaking a review of Mr Burgess’s care.”<\/p>\n
Findings from that review will be shared with both Ms O’Hagan and the coroner, the trust spokesperson added.<\/p>\n
The trust was awaiting the conclusion of the inquest before commenting further.<\/p>\n
Ms O’Hagan said she met her partner in 2012, describing him as warm, friendly, intelligent and “very sharp”.<\/p>\n
While she said he struggled with his weight, he was otherwise generally healthy and sometimes enjoyed cycling to and from work.<\/p>\n
“He never went to the doctors, and I can’t remember him taking a day off work – he was always so committed to working and he was pretty tough,” she said.<\/p>\n
On 24 April, however, he told Ms O’Hagan he was experiencing a “sharp pain” in his stomach and back.<\/p>\n
Since it was not in his chest, they did not think it was heart related.<\/p>\n
“He said he’d never felt anything like it before,” she explained.<\/p>\n
“It was absolutely horrific, just completely out of nowhere.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Speaking about her late partner, Ms O’Hagan said: “I just thought ‘How can this be happening?
