the funeral of Ismail Mohamed Abdulwahab, the UK's first child victim of Covid, circulated widely in the early days of the pandemic lockdown. It was found that a misplaced endotracheal tube was a factor in his death; the tube, used to help patients breathe, had been found to be in the wrong position hours before his passing. Senior Coroner Andrew Harris concluded that had the tube been correctly placed, Ismail would not have died when he did. News of this tragedy spread quickly and impacted many, especially during the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic. As Ismail's family had to self-isolate, they were unable to attend the funeral. Pictures of his coffin being lowered by four people in white protective clothing, gloves, and face masks had an immense impact.
