Former Geordie Shore star Zahida Allen says her father, Anhar Miah, was repeatedly sent home from a GP and A&E with laxatives for constipation before being diagnosed with bowel cancer. The claims are described as part of an account of his final illness and treatment prior to his death.
Allen says Miah died of bowel cancer in February 2023. The reports describe his constipation symptoms being treated with laxatives, with him sent away rather than receiving further intervention at the time. The outlets present the same basic sequence: laxatives are provided for constipation, later bowel cancer results, and Miah’s death follows.
Both sources focus on Allen’s allegations and her account of what happened, rather than presenting new clinical findings or official conclusions in their reports. The coverage emphasizes her statement about possible delays or inadequacy of initial assessment, while also acknowledging the broader context of how such symptoms can be managed and investigated in primary and emergency care.
