Hospital bosses have apologised for not doing more to help a Derbyshire teenager who died from an undiagnosed heart infection.
Daniel Elton died at his home in Castle Gresley in November 2015, a day after being discharged from Queen's Hospital in Burton where he'd undergone tests for a range of symptoms, including abdominal pain and anaemia.
A post-mortem examination found he'd been suffering from endocarditis, a rare infection of the inner lining of the heart.
Image source, Family photoAt an inquest into his death in Derby, assistant coroner Louise Pinder said there had been "a gross failure to provide medical attention for Daniel, who was clearly in a dependent position, given the fact that he was critically unwell" at hospital in the days before his death.
However, recording a narrative conclusion she went on to say there was "no clear and direct causal connection" between the failure to take action at this point and Mr Elton's death.
The inquest had heard from an independent cardiologist that even if the teenager had been diagnosed at this point and received optimal treatment, he is unlikely to have survived.
Ms Pinder also concluded GPs who failed to diagnose endocarditis could not have been expected to do so with the information available to them at that time.
In a statement, Queen's Hospital bosses apologised for the standard of care Mr Elton received and said changes had been made.

A Leicester potato farmer has told the BBC he's having his worst ever harvest following one of the hottest summers on record.
Potato collecting has begun on Matthew Grindal's farm in Catthorpe but there are 35% less than there should be.
It's too early to gauge the full affect yet but with only half of farmers having access to irrigation, industry experts are warning the yield this year is expected to be substantially down.
Amber Cottingham from the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB) is warning it could have an impact on consumers.
She said: "There will be products available on the shelves this year but with the situation that we're in, retailers are likely to have to lower their standards to take in a larger proportion of the crop than they usually would."
