A flight home from a work trip to Ireland nearly cost a Sussex man his life - but it wasn't the flight that endangered him, it was a stranger's cough.

Fraud investigator Richard Grant believes he picked up an infection on the aircraft which quickly led to him falling seriously ill.

But, he says, medics failed to diagnose his symptoms - and he ended up in intensive care after his partner Claire Hill rushed him to A&E at the Princess Royal Hospital, Haywards Heath.
