28-year-old woman Marissa Laimou, also known as Lemos, died as a result of a bug bite. Her family stated that Marissa's condition worsened after being turned away from two hospitals and tragically passed away.
Marissa was found dead in her bed by her maid at her home in London on September 11. Greek media reported that she began showing symptoms of dizziness, itching, fever, and infection from the beginning of September.
The doctor who visited her home prescribed paracetamol, but her condition did not improve. Later, Marissa went to a London hospital, where she also saw an oncologist and was transferred to another hospital by ambulance.
However, her family and friends stated that the person who examined her in the hospital was not a doctor but nurses, and they were told that Marissa did not need to be admitted. Marissa was discharged in the evening with a diagnosis of a bug bite and a prescription for antibiotics.
The next day, she was found dead in her bed.
Her mother Bessy said that her daughter died from toxic shock related to a bug bite, but it is still unknown which bug bit her. Bessy stated, "My daughter had overcome cancer, but she died because of a bug. She was such a talented girl that all of England is crying, and so are all the doctors."
Relatives of the family announced that the autopsy has not yet been performed and will take about a week. The relevant hospital admitted that a serious mistake was made and initiated an internal investigation. Her aunt said that the family would not be able to get a clear answer until the autopsy is completed.
Friends mentioned that Marissa recently staged Romeo and Juliet in London and was preparing another theater project. Marissa was known as a talented, humble, and dedicated person to art after overcoming breast cancer.
Marissa had previously worked with famous designers Sonia Rykiel and John Galliano in Paris and then founded the Rainbow Wave company, which introduced international brands to London stores.
The Laimos family is known as one of the most recognized names in the Greek maritime industry with a deep-rooted history. The family is mourning the death of their daughter, which brings together high society, fashion, and the theater world, with great sadness.
