Two identical twin sisters have tragically passed away from Coronavirus within a short span of three days. Emma Davis, 37, a former nurse, died at Southampton General Hospital on Friday, just three days after her twin sister Katy, who worked as a paediatric nurse at the same hospital.
The heartbreaking news came just hours after Emma posted a tribute to her late twin sister. Their sister Zoe confirmed the deaths, revealing that the twins had been unwell and suffering from underlying health conditions for some time.
Zoe described her sisters’ deep bond, saying, “They always said they had come into the world together and would go out together as well. There are no words to describe how special they were,” in an interview with the BBC.
Katy’s colleagues at Southampton Children’s Hospital, where she worked as the child health risk and patient safety lead, have paid heartfelt tributes to her. Paediatrician Kate Pryde expressed her admiration for Katy’s dedication to patient care, while paediatric senior Sarah Chittock remembered Katy’s kindness and willingness to help others.
May their souls rest in peace.
