A doctor who, until a few months ago, was working at St Mary’s Accident and Emergency department has sadly passed away after testing positive for Coronavirus.
Dr Adefolu Edmond Adedeji – known to friends as Folu – was working at Swindon’s Great Western Hospital when he contracted the virus. He sadly passed away on Wednesday aged 62.
Dr Diaz: “He was a good man”
Islanders have posted condolences on the Facebook page of Dr Saul Diaz – who shared the news earlier, saying,
“I am very sorry to announce that Dr Adefolu Edmond Adedeji, who used to work at St Mary’s A&E some months ago, had fallen victim of the Coronavirus and passed away two days ago.
“May his soul rest in peace. He was a good man.”
Died “doing a job he loved”
His family paid tribute to him saying he died doing a job he loved, serving others before himself.
Our thoughts are with Dr Adedeji’s family and friends, and all those who worked with him on the Island.
OnTheWight has contacted IW NHS Trust for a comment and will update once we hear back.
Thanks to Vix for the heads up
