A coronavirus-stricken man in Scotland has emerged from a three-week coma and recovered – only to learn that his mother and her partner died of the disease, according to a report.

Scott Miller, 43, of Edinburgh, shared an apartment with his 76-year-old mother, Norma, who suffered from dementia, and her 69-year-old partner, the BBC reported.

“Norma was in Ward 220 in the Royal Infirmary and Scott was in ICU,” his sister-in-law Sharlene Miller told the outlet.

“On the Sunday morning we got a call to say Norma had passed away, and we got a call from the consultant to say that Scott was very ill as well.

Then Norma’s partner passed away the following Sunday,” she added.

After three weeks, Miller was brought out of the coma and a nurse told him his mother had died.

“When I came round, I just had a gut feeling that something had happened to Mum and when the nurse told me, it was just disbelief and shock.

In the ensuing days, he also learned that his mother’s partner had died at their home.

“Again it was just disbelief that it had taken two people who were part of my everyday life,” Miller said.

Two or three of the nurses who treated me were with my mum when she passed away.
