An interviewee on national radio station LBC said his step-father died of Omicron at a Northampton hospital last week but the hospital have since confirmed this is a lie.
Northampton General Hospital (NGH) has responded to a claim in the national press that the first Omicron death in the United Kingdom happened at the site last week.
This comes after LBC radio station had a man called John call in on Friday (December 17) saying that his step-father had died of the new variant at ‘a hospital in Northampton’.
John told radio host Nick Ferrari that his step-father in his 70s reportedly died with Omicron on Monday (December 13) after not being vaccinated.
A spokesperson for NHS Northamptonshire CCG said: “The NHS system in Northamptonshire has not recorded an Omicron-related death at this time.”

“Real” fake news.
This would be hilarious if it wasn’t so pathetic.
Must have really cared for the step-father to have lied like that.
Wasnt there a prize for being first?
