Parents' fury after superbug kills premature baby son and 12 more newborns infected due to outbreak in hospital intensive care unit

A baby who died following an outbreak of a killer superbug at a hospital neo-natal unit has been named as Oliver Hannon. Oliver, who was born prematurely, and 12 other newborns in the baby intensive care unit at Southmead Hospital in Bristol, had been infected after an outbreak of the water-borne bacteria pseudomonas, it was revealed last night. Traces of the superbug - linked to a series of baby deaths across the UK - were found in the water system. His devastated mother Jenna Hannon has now spoken of the heartbreaking moment her son passed away in her arms at the hospital in August.
