Osteopath "Never Seen Anything Like" Paloma Shemirani's Fatal Case
30 Jul
Summary
- Paloma Shemirani, 23, died of a heart attack caused by her tumor
- She had declined chemotherapy for non-Hodgkin lymphoma
- Osteopath Nick Gosset felt "deeply aggrieved" to be put in a position to treat her

In July 2022, 23-year-old Paloma Shemirani tragically passed away from a fatal heart attack caused by her tumor. Paloma had declined chemotherapy for her non-Hodgkin lymphoma, a decision that ultimately led to her untimely demise. The day before her death, Paloma visited an osteopath named Nick Gosset on the instructions of her mother, Kate, a prominent online COVID-19 conspiracy theorist. Gosset, who had over 43 years of experience, told the inquest in Maidstone that he had "never seen anything like" Paloma's case. He expressed feeling "deeply aggrieved" that he had been put in a professional position of trying to treat Paloma when her GP had clearly advised her to go to the emergency room. The heartbreaking case highlights the consequences of rejecting conventional medical treatment in favor of alternative approaches, especially when dealing with a serious illness like cancer. Paloma's tragic passing serves as a stark reminder of the importance of seeking proper medical care and following the advice of qualified healthcare professionals.
