LONDON - The parents of a British toddler who died during surgery after seeking treatment from four different hospitals during an eight hour period have criticised an inquest verdict of death by natural causes.

Ms Julie Benton (23), and Mr Timothy Dawes (32), the parents of 23 month old Robert Benton, of Rowley Regis, West Midlands, said yesterday they would appeal against the inquest findings and still intended to sue the four hospital trusts for the events surrounding his death.
