BBC star Kerry Wilson's tragic death sparks health debate
The sudden death of Kerry Wilson saddened many of her fans. The 56-year-old was a star of the small screen, gaining fame through BBC productions. Her mother described what the final days of the presenter's life entailed. It turned out that Kerry had been in excellent health and had never previously complained of any ailments. So, what happened?
Kerry Wilson died unexpectedly at the age of 56. Initially, there was no indication that the infection she contracted would end so tragically. The BBC star had been feeling unwell for several days and complained of a persistently blocked nose.
She contracted the flu. This diagnosis was made by her family doctor, whom she visited on the advice of her concerned mother. At that stage, further tests were conducted, which indicated that Kerry had a very low level of oxygen in her blood.
It became difficult for her to endure the next few hours, so she was placed under hospital care. There, she fell into a coma. Kerry Wilson was put on a ventilator, but despite the efforts of the medical staff, she could not be revived.
Her family stood by her bedside, and her mother held her hand until the final moments. She did not hide the fact that such a sudden death of her daughter, heralded by an innocent blocked nose, would remain a traumatic experience and an unexpected blow.
Kerry was very young, very lively. It was very sudden. She's never been in the hospital in her life; no major health issues or anything like that. But then this new flu came along. It's been devastating. You just don't expect it - everyone gets flued up every winter, she recounted in an interview with Stoke on Trent Live.
The sudden death of Kerry Wilson. She starred in the first BBC soap opera
Kerry Wilson also left her admirers in mourning. She won their admiration nearly four decades ago when she made her debut in British show business. She appeared on BBC-produced shows like "The Jonathan Ross Show," and "Talking Telephone Numbers." She played the character Cheryl Colclough in the station's first soap opera titled "Radio Stoke."
The news that surfaced online on 10 January led to an open discussion on social media. It centred around the fragility of human life and the idea that anyone — regardless of their accomplishments and successes — can lose their health in a short time.
Internet users are not hiding the fact that Kerry Wilson was a charismatic figure who will remain in their memory for a long time. Numerous condolences were offered to her grieving family.
