A BABY who was "always smiling" died after doctors missed signs of a heart condition despite his parents taking him to A&E more than 10 times. Archie Squire was rushed to hospital many times in his first and only year of life but medical staff ignored his mum and dad's concerns, an inquest is expected to hear. Sarah Hayes, Chief Nursing and Midwifery Officer at East Kent Hospital said: “Our hearts go out to Archie’s family and we are so sorry for their devastating loss. Archie's parents described him as a "happy little lad who was always smiling". The pre-inquest review hearing into his death will be held today at North East Kent Coroner's Court.
