Charity skydive for son was 'amazing', says mum
Belinda Dowling, from Portsmouth, was raising money for Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance which tried to help save Warren, 10, in 2023.
She completed the skydive on Sunday alongside her 16-year-old daughter, her partner Ian Dowling, one of Warren's old teachers and two people from the air ambulance service.
Ms Dowling, who has already seen the £1,200 fundraising target reached, said afterwards: "I did it and was glad when my feet got back to the ground."
Following the skydive, Ms Dowling said her daughter Scarlett "absolutely loved it and wants to do it again".
It was an "amazing experience for a well-deserved charity", she said, adding she "just kept thinking of Warren's smile".
Speaking ahead of the charity event, Ms Dowling described her son as "the most kind-hearted, loving boy".
"He was so outgoing, he just absolutely loved life," she said.
He had been playing outside with his siblings after dinner in March 2023 when he came inside and asked for his inhalers.
But they did not work, so Ms Dowling called an ambulance.
"He started saying 'don't let me die'," she said.
While his mum was on the phone to the emergency services, Warren had a seizure and stopped breathing.
His dad performed CPR until the ambulance arrived but paramedics were unable to save him.
Mr Dowling took on a Father's Day skydive a year after Warren's death, which prompted his partner to do the same.
"I kept saying I wouldn't do it. I'm petrified of heights, I've never flown," said Ms Dowling before Sunday's skydive.
"[But] I wanted to do something for Warren and the air ambulance so this made perfect sense."

NHS trust praised for veteran care with national accreditation
A healthcare trust has been nationally recognised for its support of veterans and the wider Armed Forces community. The Hampshire and Isle of Wight Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust has now been named as a Veteran Aware organisation by the Veterans Covenant Healthcare Alliance (VCHA). To mark the achievement, a plaque was unveiled at the trust's head office at Tatchbury Mount in Calmore, during a ceremony attended by trust chair Neil Hayward and chief executive Ron Shields. HIOWH Veteran Aware plaque unveiling (Image: NHS) Andy Spencer, trust lead for the Armed Forces programme, said: "Becoming Veteran Aware wasn't a tick-box exercise. "We had to demonstrate real, measurable commitment, including training staff to understand military culture and service-related health needs, ensuring clear and straightforward referral pathways for those who need them, and continuing to promote our role as a Forces-friendly employer. "This plaque represents our enduring promise to deliver outstanding care that recognises the strengths and experiences of those who serve." The Veteran Aware accreditation recognises NHS organisations that deliver high-quality care to veterans, serving personnel, and their families, with an understanding of the unique needs of the Armed Forces community. READ MORE: Fun for all the family at HMS Sultan's action-packed Families Day The Hampshire and Isle of Wight trust serves one of the UK's largest Armed Forces populations, with an estimated 175,000 people—nearly nine per cent of the local population—connected to military service. Professor Tim Briggs CBE, chair of the VCHA, praised the progress being made nationally. Professor Briggs said: "More and more NHS trusts are seeing the value of Veteran Aware accreditation. "We have only four NHS trusts across England left to accredit, which is a testament both to the dedication of the VCHA team and to the wider NHS family who work tirelessly on behalf of the military community despite the many pressures they will be under." The trust's Armed Forces programme includes a dedicated Armed Forces lead and a network of more than 150 staff with military connections. Initiatives include identifying veterans on patient records, staff training on military culture, and clear referral pathways to specialist services. Andy added: "This plaque unveiling isn't the end, it's a milestone. "We will continue to build on this foundation: listening, learning, and improving."

Democrats press UnitedHealth Group over nursing home policies
Democratic Sens. Ron Wyden (Oreg.) and Elizabeth Warren (Mass.) are launching an investigation into UnitedHealth Group (UHG) over its actions reportedly steering seniors away from hospital visits for the sake of cutting costs. In a letter to UHG CEO Stephen J. Hemsley, Wyden and Warren cited reporting from outlets including The Guardian that said his company was paying nursing homes to reduce hospital transfers of sick patients. The senators wrote that UHG representatives told them bonus programs for nursing homes are offered to encourage 'adherence to certain quality measures.' One of these programs allows for nursing homes to receive bonuses if they reach certain levels of influenza and pneumococcal vaccination rates and cholesterol medication adherence rates, while also maintaining a hospital admission per thousand rate below a certain threshold. They also pointed to UHG institutional special needs plans, provided through its subsidiary Optum, which reportedly disincentivize 'medically-necessary hospitalizations and emergency room visits.' These plans also reportedly pressure nursing home residents to sign 'do not resuscitate' (DNR) and 'do not intubate' (DNI) orders. At the time of The Guardian's reporting in May, UHG denied it was preventing hospital transfers or pushing patients to sign DNRs and DNIs. 'Put simply, these allegations suggest that UHG appears to be prioritizing its bottom line at the expense of the health and safety of nursing home residents enrolled in UHG I-SNPs. Nursing home residents and their families should not live in fear of a for-profit health care company withholding care when it is most critical,' the lawmakers wrote. Though they expressed their support for evidence-based models that reduce 'unnecessary hospitalizations of nursing home residents,' Wyden and Warren noted a briefing with UHG representatives did not resolve their concerns surrounding these reports. The lawmakers requested information on UHG's I-SNP model, Optum's policies on transferring residents on I-SNP to the hospital as well as information on its bonus programs. 'Any attempt to take advantage of vulnerable nursing home residents is unacceptable, especially to pad a for-profit insurance company's revenues. It is vital that UHG respond to these alarming reports and provide prompt, detailed responses to our questions,' wrote Wyden and Warren.

Abortion pioneer died at 93 in hospital after being diagnosed with dementia
A pioneer of abortion services in the United States died at the age of 93 after being detained under the mental health act at a Dorset hospital after suffering paranoia and delirium having been diagnosed with dementia, an inquest has heard. Dr Horace Hale Harvey III, who was born in New Orleans in December 1931, opened one of the first independent abortion clinics in the US in Manhattan in July 1970 after New York State had reformed its laws. The clinic, called Women's Services, provided safe and affordable abortions. In an obituary, the New York Times reported that Dr Harvey had become an abortion provider to 'combat what he felt was an epidemic of unsafe abortions at a time when unmarried women were denied access to contraceptives, and when comprehensive sex education was discouraged'. Dr Harvey, who had a son and a daughter, later moved to the Isle of Wight and worked for public health services there but in 2014 moved to Dorset after his house burned down. The obituary states that Dr Harvey had chosen the Isle of Wight because 'according to his research, it had the highest average temperature and received more hours of sunlight than anywhere else in England'. In a statement read to the Bournemouth inquest, his daughter Kate said that her father was 'very determined' to keep healthy by walking a mile and doing 20 squats each day and said he 'enjoyed laughter and making up jokes' as well as activities such as dance, table tennis and snooker. She added that he was a scholar who was 'committed to Aristotelian ethics and scientific learning'. The inquest heard that in late 2024, Dr Harvey was diagnosed with Alzheimer's and PTSD after the house fire 10 years earlier. On January 22 2025, he was taken to Dorset County Hospital having suffered a rib fracture in a fall at home. After physiotherapists expressed concerns at his ability to understand care instructions, he was assessed by psychiatrists and was detained under the mental health act. Coroner Richard Middleton said that Dr Harvey was increasingly experiencing delirium and paranoia. He said that Dr Harvey was found dead in his hospital bed in the early hours of February 14 and a post-mortem examination found he died of natural causes from ischaemic heart disease and coronary artery disease. The coroner, recording a conclusion of death by natural causes, explained that the inquest had to be held by law because Dr Harvey was formally detained by the state at the time of his death. Mr Middleton added: 'I express my deepest condolences to all of Dr Harvey's family and friends for their loss.'
