“I am the grandaughter of the women in question. I am very close to my grandmother and i shaw and looked after her every day along with my uncle and mother. My whole family are helping her through this terrible time and hoping for the best. However i do wish that you all keep your views to yourself if the are going to be disturbing "jokes" on the situation. We are all hurting very much inside and i feel so much for my grandmother is in the condition she is. She is a fighter and a true lady who always laughed and joked along with me. I hope that people who are making jokes realise this is not a joking matter or there concern. God know you would all react if this happened to a member of your family and people were making "sickening" jokes. Keep your throughts to yourself if you have nothing nice to say. Thankyou all that have respected my family and please all pray for my wounderfull grandmother”

“Jamie gy.....we live in a country where people have the right for freedom of speech, yes some comments are not ideal and sometimes insensitive to say the least....however this is a "comments" page and therefore people have the right to express their opinion whether right or wrong.......no i have not commented on the actual incident as i am fully aware what happened as i am a health professional and would be wrong of me!”

“Anon is right, I'm a taxi driver and picked some of the family up from the hospital. and I can tell you, they don't need all this speculation about how it happened..... just think about that before commenting how "silly" you think she must have been.... I DO know what happened, and of course it's not my place to say, but you're all wrong and should stop speculating and have a little more regard for her family.
They are decent people and deserve some privacy and respect....
I hope it all goes as well as it can for you all...”
