An 88-year-old woman tragically succumbs to dehydration and malnutrition after being denied food and water for 28 days by her caretakers, exposing the dark underbelly of elder care.
Tragedy struck as Sarene Taylor, an 88-year-old woman, died not from natural causes, but from gross neglect. Starved of food and water for 28 days by her caretakers, Sarene’s life was cruelly cut short as she succumbed to dehydration and malnutrition. Discovered by her devastated son, this heartrending tale exposes the grim reality of elder care.
Four weeks prior to her death, Sarene suffered a stroke and was admitted to a North Wales hospital, according to her son, Rob Taylor. Instead of receiving the necessary care, the hospital staff abandoned her, neglecting to provide sustenance and ultimately initiating a process that would lead to her slow demise. Sarene’s family members were left in shock, as they were not even informed of her placement into end-of-life care.
A retired and well-regarded North Wales rural police officer, Rob Taylor found his mother’s treatment by the hospital to be both “inhumane” and “heartbreaking.” Rob believes the way his mother was treated demands a change in order for humanity to progress. He is considering reporting the horrifying incident to the North Wales Police and the Older People’s Commissioner for Wales, as it was nothing short of abominable.
In spite of the supposed discontinuation of the “death pathway” end-of-life practice in North Wales over a decade ago, it appears that people like Sarene are still being subjected to this cruel fate. Deprived of essential sustenance, their bodies are forced into a state of accelerated decay.
In an impassioned statement, Rob Taylor expressed his understanding of end-of-life care but insisted that denying someone food and water is beyond reprehensible. He urged society to ensure that such atrocities never occur again and expressed gratitude for the support and condolences received by his family during this difficult time.
Rob Taylor shared a gut-wrenching video testimony following his mother’s tragic passing, detailing the callous manner in which her life was taken. He recounted the story of his mother’s admission to the hospital in North Wales after her stroke, her subsequent transfer back to the care home, and the ethical dilemmas surrounding her death.

This scandalous story of Sarene Taylor’s cruel and unusual end serves as a stark reminder of the bizarre and inhumane treatment some elderly individuals face in their twilight years. As a society, we must strive to prevent such heart-wrenching incidents from occurring and ensure that the vulnerable are treated with the dignity and respect they deserve.
