Olympian Katie Archibald tried to save dying partner Rab Wardell
August 24, 2022
Olympian Katie Archibald said she tried desperately to save her partner Rab Wardell as he suffered a fatal cardiac arrest in bed beside her. The champion cyclist expressed her devastation after Wardell, a mountain biker, died aged 37 on Tuesday morning. His death came two days after he won the Scottish MTB XC Championships in Dumfries and Galloway.
Archibald, 28, made an emotional statement in a social media post on Wednesday morning. She tweeted: "I think you've heard that Rab died yesterday morning. I still don't understand what's happened; if this is real; why he'd be taken now – so healthy and happy. He went into cardiac arrest while we were lying in bed. I tried and tried, and the paramedics arrived within minutes, but his heart stopped and they couldn't bring him back."
Archibald, who won track cycling gold medals at Tokyo 2020 and Rio 2016, added: "Mine stopped with it. I love him so much and need him here with me. I need him here so badly, but he's gone. I can't describe this pain."

Two mums-of-three “died suddenly” (at 36):
Huddersfield husband's heartbreaking tribute to wife and mum-of-three who died suddenly after falling ill at beach.
August 24, 2022
The devastated husband of a Huddersfield mum-of-three who died suddenly after falling ill on a trip to the beach has revealed how she tragically passed away in his arms. Grace Nalule Sekitoleko, 36, had been visiting family in Grimsby and was at the beach when she started to feel ill. Grace, a care worker at Huddersfield Royal Infirmary, was rushed back from their trip in Lincolnshire to their West Yorkshire home.
Her husband Ivan Bemba Katende took her to A&E that night, but claims Grace was discharged and returned home at 7 am the next morning. She spent the day resting in bed on Monday, August 15, but Ivan tragically found her unconscious in the afternoon and despite desperate attempts to save her, emergency services were unable to resuscitate her.
Ivan said: "Grace was a "lovely and caring wife, sister, mother, neighbour and friend who touched the lives of those around her. She was very down to earth. She loved the simple things in life.”
Speaking more about what happened to Grace, Ivan recalled how she had been discharged from hospital and got a taxi home, arriving at 7 am on August 15. Throughout the day he checked on her regularly, but after making some food at around 6 pm he went upstairs and found Grace unconscious on the bed with no pulse.
He shouted at Riley to ask their neighbour to come round and began administering CPR and using an oximeter to check for a pulse. He said he was on the phone to the emergency teams relaying details before the ambulance crew arrived. Ivan said: "Within split seconds they had her wired up and they were checking for a pulse so that they could use the defib but unfortunately it kept going flat. The doctor said 'We will try one more time and if we don't get a pulse we have to call it off. I know it's hard but that's it'. She then died in my arms. They did their best. I can't fault them." He said that the family are waiting for the coroner's results to find out the cause of death.

Heartbroken Lanarkshire dad of three devastated after sudden death of beloved wife
August 25, 2022
A heartbroken father-of-three has described desperately giving his beloved wife CPR after he found her unresponsive in bed when he returned home from night shift. Chris Morrison's world fell apart on Sunday morning when he discovered 36-year-old Kimberley in the family home in East Kilbride's Calderwood area. The security guard had chatted with his wife - who was at home with children, Savannah, nine, Cadence, five and one-year-old Sawyer - via WhatsApp on Saturday night when she said she had been sick and was feeling unwell. But Chris was alerted that something was seriously wrong by the family dog at 6.30 am on Sunday morning.
"I came in and put the kettle on like I always do, but I heard our wee dog barking and barking," the 37-year-old told Lanarkshire Live. "She was upstairs with Kimberley and wouldn't come down, obviously she was trying to tell me there was something wrong. I never in a million years expected to find what I did though. In my heart of hearts, when I went in to the bedroom and saw Kimberley lying there, I knew she was gone." A first aider at work, Chris desperately administered CPR before paramedics arrived - but it was too late.

Boy, 8, who died 3 days after positive Covid test likely had undiagnosed heart defect
August 23, 2022
An eight-year-old boy who died three days after testing positive for Covid was likely to have had an undiagnosed heart defect, an inquest has heard. Jasper Bryan Cook, from Birkenshaw, was a "normal, healthy child" before his sudden death in January, Bradford Coroners Court heard. The "fun-loving" pupil had been seen by an out-of-hours GP the day before his death after being sick and suffering abdominal pain. On January 21, he became very unwell at his home in Birkenshaw, near Bradford, and paramedics were called - but Jasper was found to be in cardiac arrest. The ambulance crew performed CPR and rushed him to Bradford Royal Infirmary where he was pronounced dead despite the best efforts of emergency medics.
An inquest held into his death heard no medical cause of death has been identified. But the hearing was told it was likely Jasper had an arrhythmia - an abnormal heart rhythm. The court heard this cannot be diagnosed in death and his family is now undergoing genetic testing in the hope they will get some answers. The coroner said no medical cause of death had been identified, but all unnatural causes have been excluded.

"Caleb was loved so much by his mummy, daddy and sister and by everyone in the community and we want to thank everyone who has reached out. He was a very content baby who was very happy and always smiling. He hardly ever cried and was brilliant at sleeping and eating. In the weeks leading up to his passing he learnt how to laugh. He enjoyed the bath and was always laughing in the tub."
Emergency services were called after Caleb was found unresponsive on the morning of Sunday, July 17. "It's absolutely devastating, you never expect it to happen to you. When I woke up that day, I never expected to find him gone. There were no concerns or anything with his health. The night before, I gave him a bath, a bottle and put him to bed. I got up to do his nightly feed as normal and then when I went in the next morning I found him sadly passed away."

In memory of those who 'died suddenly,' in the United Kingdom and Ireland, August 22-August 29
RIP 🙏❤️🌷
More and more people finding their spouses dead in bed. Traumatic.
Thanks Mark.
This was a long, long list. Thanks MCM and team for putting these tragic reports together and sending them out. I still don’t think these deaths and reports are reaching enough of the unaware folks. We can forward them on but how can we get folks to read them? These need a huge audience. Thank you all. Thank you.
