Francis From BBC Documentary ‘The World’s Worst Place To Be Disabled’ Has Died Aged 30 #ForFrancis

August 17, 2015

I share this message from Sophie Morgan in tribute to him, as she has requested people may like to do.

It is with enormous sadness that I write to tell you all that Francis – the young man in our BBC Documentary – has died.

Francis has been confined to his room for 15 years after becoming disabled, and now after years of neglect his suffering is over.

I met him in Ghana as part of a documentary which explored where in the world it might be worse to be disabled, and his face and story will haunt me forever.

He is buried today aged only 30.
