A grammar schoolgirl died from sepsis after 'history fanatic' teachers dragged her around New York's top attractions having ignored her pleas to see a doctor and rest in her hotel, her mother has told an inquest. Miss Uglow had also asked to see a doctor, suffered coughing fits and back pain before she died while on a dream school trip to Washington, Philadelphia and New York, an inquest was told. Her parents David and Natalia said Ana told teachers she thought she had a chest infection and asked to see a doctor two days before her death, but this was 'refused'. The following day, Ana told her mother that she was 'exhausted' and had done a walking tour of Washington with fellow students and teachers Rory Hambly and Ellice Clare. They travelled by train from Washington to Philadelphia on December 17 and Ana called her mother several times during the journey.
