It's no-ones fault, and it absolutely does my fucking head in that there has to be someone to blame for everything these days.
Food poisoning is rarely very serious, that strain of Clostridium isn't particualary nasty, and the hospital treated her entirely reasonably.

She will have died because of some massive underlying health condition which is neither the fault of the pub nor the hospital.

You're saying we should burn down both the pub and the hospital?

YES DAMMMIT.
I'm saying she was a fat, unhealthy bifter who died due to her own terrible lifestyle, actually.

I've no idea if this is true but I'd be happier placing money on that than any other reason.

But by the sound of it,
they were hot holding turkey at too low temp to keep bacteria at bay, and no one knew as proper temp checks hadn't been done, or were falsified, he wasn't very clear. so someone fucked up and made 30 people ill.

and they should be punished for just that.
A fine or whatever. A death is horrible and all that, but it's not an expected result of food poisoning.
