BBC presenter Lisa Shaw died due to complications from the AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine, a coroner concluded today.
The 44-year-old radio host died at the Royal Victoria Infirmary in the city just over three weeks after her first dose of the vaccine, heard coroner Karen Dilks.
An inquest, which lasted less than an hour, was told she was admitted to hospital after she complained of headaches and doctors found a haemorrhage on her brain.
In a statement issued after the hearing, Ms. Shaw’s family said: ‘This is another difficult day in what has been a devastating time for us.
‘The death of our beloved Lisa has left a terrible void in our family and in our lives.
‘She truly was the most wonderful wife, mum, daughter, sister, and friend.
‘We have said all we want to say in public at this time and ask to be left alone to grieve and rebuild our lives in private. Thank you.’
