Sean O'Neill's daughter Maeve Boothby O'Neill, 27, died at home in Exeter at 3am on October 3, 2021, following a battle with myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME). Her family believe her death in October 2021 exposed 'a major systemic failing' of the health service to both understand and treat severe cases of the condition. Mr O'Neill, a journalist for The Times, said that her GP Dr Lucy Shenton had told the family she had 'never seen anyone so poorly treated by the NHS as Maeve was'.

Maeve Boothby-O'Neill, 27, pleaded 'I'm hungry, and I want to eat' in a desperate letter that heartbreakingly ended: 'Please help me get enough food to live.' The inquest in Exeter, Devon, heard Miss Boothby-O'Neill had been getting weaker since January 2021 and by March could not feed herself. She was unable to chew and had difficulty drinking as she could not sit up with her mother feeding her through a syringe, the inquest heard. Miss Boothby-O'Neill had been suffering from fatigue since the age of 13 which got worse after she completed her A-levels, and she later struggled to maintain 'any normality due to fatigue'.

Her family believe her death in October 2021 exposed 'a major systemic failing' of the health service to both understand and treat severe cases of the condition.
