The sons of British conspiracy theorist Kate Shemirani blame their mother for the death of their sister, Paloma, who died in 2024 at age 23 from non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Paloma refused chemotherapy, influenced by her mother's anti-science views and belief in alternative treatments like Gerson therapy. Her sons, Gabriel and Sebastian, detailed their mother's anti-vaccine and conspiracy beliefs in a BBC Panorama interview, stating that Paloma's death was a direct consequence of their mother's actions. Kate maintains her daughter's death was a cover-up, rejecting any responsibility.
