Toddlers death inquiry finds no land link
5:48pm Tuesday 18th September 2007
Comments (0)AN investigation into the deaths of two Leftwich toddlers who both contracted a rare form of leukaemia has revealed no links between potentially contaminated land and their deaths.
Rebecca Watts, aged 19 months, of Muirfield Close, died on February 26, 2005 - exactly a year after Sharon Pymer, of Greenlaw Close, died of the disease, aged just 17 months.
Gene tests carried out on both girls, who lived just yards from each other, revealed they were both suffering from acute myeloid leukaemia, of which only eight cases happen to children in the UK each year.
