A 68-year-old dying pensioner’s Rolex watch worth a whooping £5,000 was stolen while doctors were trying to rescuscitate him in the A&E department of St Richard’s Hospital in Chichester, West Sussex.
Police said while Mr Davies, from Birdham, West Sussex, was being treated in the resuscitation area next to the A&E department, his watch was taken.
David Davies died shortly afterwards and his devastated family say the theft of the heirloom has compounded their grief.
