Cancer girl death inquiry scrapped

Mar 8 2010

An inquiry into the case of a teenage cancer victim who received an accidental overdose of radiation has been scrapped after medical experts agreed there was no link between the mistake and her death.

Lisa Norris, from Girvan, Ayrshire, died at the age of 16 in October 2006 from a type of brain cancer.

During her treatment at the Beatson Oncology Centre in Glasgow, she was given 19 radiation overdoses which left her with burns on the back of her neck and head.
