Though this story took place back in 2017, it’s equally as saddening and shocking today.

As per the Daily Mirror, Lisa and Lewis, parents of one, had discovered just one year before his passing that Lewis was living with a rare heart condition known as Brugada syndrome.

Lewis was a determined to be a low-risk sufferer of the condition, which the Mayo Clinic characterize as posing an increased risk of irregular heart rhythms beginning in the lower chambers of the heart.

“But I felt that the sheets were wet and knew something was wrong. I turned the lights on and his face was purple – he wasn’t breathing.

“I called an ambulance and it felt like it took forever. They pronounced him dead at the hospital. I later found out that the snoring sound was the air leaving his body.”

Lisa also stated her belief that her boyfriend’s life might have been saved if he had been fitted with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD), a device which restarts the heart. Sadly, Lewis wasn’t deemed high risk enough to qualify.
