Grieving Yorkshire couple left heartbroken after huge soil mound is dumped on three-month-old son's grave with teddy tossed aside

Jack Campleman, aged 23, was left in disbelief when his partner Laura Robinson, aged 22, called him from the cemetery to say a massive mound of dirt had been left on their son Oliver’s grave.

Laura had gone to Bridlington Cemetery in East Yorkshire - where Oliver was laid to rest - on Tuesday afternoon when she saw what had happened.

Jack raced to the cemetery after the phone call and said it was “horrifying” as he could see the four-and-a-half foot tall mound from the gates - a five minute walk from Oliver’s grave.

He was told by the gravedigger there was “no other place” for him to put the dirt.

The couple also said the widow of a man buried next to their son had found the teddies and flowers left for Oliver on her husband's grave, after they had been tossed aside.

Oliver was born healthy on October 6, 2020 after the couple suffered through two miscarriages, but Oliver suddenly fell ill in early December and was rushed to Scarborough General Hospital.

He was then transferred to Leeds General Infirmary where he spent three weeks on ICU where doctors fought to save his life.

Oliver was diagnosed with mitochondrial disease - a rare condition which affects the part of the body’s cells which are responsible for generating energy.

But sadly, the disease is difficult to detect early due to the number of symptoms which patients typically display and Oliver's liver began to fail, followed shortly by his kidney and then the debilitating illness spread to his brain and caused him to suffer from multiple seizures.

Tragically, baby Oliver died at 10.45pm on New Year’s Day.

Jack said he felt like it was the “ultimate mark of disrespect” for them to toss little Oliver’s teddy and flowers away - on top of everything else.
