A WOMAN famously snatched from hospital as a newborn has died aged 30 after suffering with a brain tumour.
Abbie Humphries, known as Baby Abbie after she was taken from her cot at Queen’s Medical Centre in Nottingham, died on Sunday.
Her husband Karl Sundgren paid tribute to his “beautiful” wife on Facebook.
He wrote: “Our beautiful Abbie peacefully passed away yesterday, surrounded by loved ones.
“She fought so hard with so much strength and grace for over 4 years and can finally rest.
“Abbie was so strong, and her infectious smile will forever remain in our hearts.”
Abbie was stolen from her cot at just three hours old in July 1994 by a woman who had posed as a nurse.
Her desperate parents Karen and Roger spent 16 desperate days hunting for her before she was found.
Karen said: “Whoever has taken our baby, can they please give her back.”Karen said: “Whoever has taken our baby, can they please give her back.”
Abbie had no idea until she was aged 10.
Her family have been since been haunted by tragedy, with her mum Karen dying of breast cancer in 2020.
In 2021, Abbie expressed, “We have just had a terrible amount of bad luck. I usually choose to look at the positive side of everything. It makes everyone feel better.”
She was diagnosed with a brain tumour the same year and given 12 months to live. She survived for another four.
