The Nigerian doctor who worked at the Great Western Hospital in Swindon before his death, died at the age of 62 on Thursday April 9.
Adedeji had only taken up a job as the locum registrar in the Emergency Department of the Hospital in 2019, after working for London’s St Mary’s Accident and Emergency for years.
The deceased's family said in a tribute made available to ITV;
‘He died doing a job he loved.
“We as a family are grateful to God for the life of Dr Edmond Adefolu Adedeji.
“He died doing a job he loved, serving others before himself. We would like to thank the staff and his colleagues for looking after him during his final days.
“He leaves behind a wife, three children and three grandchildren.”
Great Western Hospital also mourned the doctor in a condolence message:
“On behalf of the whole Trust, I would like to extend our sincere condolences to Edmond’s family. Our thoughts are with them, and his friends and colleagues at the Trust.”
Dr Dr Saúl Díaz, a colleague of Adedeji at St Mary also penned down a tribute to him. He wrote;
I am very sorry to announce that Dr Adefolu Edmond Adedeji, who used to work at St Mary's A&E some months ago had fallen victim of the coronavirus and passed away 2 days ago.
May his soul rest in peace. He was a good man.
