20/03/2026 20/03/2026 KASSAM, Shokat Ali Osman Shokat Ali Osman KASSAM died on the 20th May 2025 at the Royal Blackburn Hospital as a consequence of gastric cancer. Mr KASSAM had been referred for investigations for possible cancer in October of 2024 and underwent investigations. A CT scan in November of 2024 did not identify visible signs of cancer and he was not followed up until March of 2025. In March of 2025 scans revealed extensive cancer which could not be cured. The absence of follow up in 2024 and reported CT scan from 2024 contributed to Mr KASSAM's death occurring at the time at which it did as it meant there were fewer palliative options available to him due to symptomology at the time of his eventual diagnosis.
