Mystery as mum-of-five Annie Humphreys suddenly dies as family pay tribute to ‘life and soul of the party’
November 1, 2023
Cornwall - Tributes are pouring in for a mum-of-five who suddenly died just weeks before Christmas. Annie Humphreys, 47, was found dead on Thursday, to the devastation of those around her. The mum's death comes as a massive shock to those around her, and they say it will ripple through the Torpoint, Cornwall community. Annie is now being remembered as the woman who always put everyone else first. And now those around her are working to make sure her children - the youngest of which is 11 - can still have a Christmas. Sophie Strevens, who called herself Annie's "bonus daughter", said the mum touched so many people's lives and would be deeply missed. "She was actually my sister-in-law but brought me up from a young age like a mum. Her death was very sudden and we're still waiting on the coroner's report.”
Mum who was 'glue to family' dies weeks after giving birth [inquest]
November 1, 2023
Lancashire - A mum, who was described as “the glue” which held her family together, died weeks after giving birth. Amelia Smith, from Kirkby, died on November 14, 2021 - a month after welcoming her daughter Poppy into the world on October 1 that year. The 23-year-old was described as a "gentle, kind and beautiful soul” by loved ones. At an inquest held at Bootle Town Hall on Wednesday, November 1, coroner Graham Jackson said the beautician had suffered with anorexia, an eating disorder, for an “extended period”. Amelia had also suffered with low potassium levels and while pregnant with her second child Poppy was hospitalised and treated by doctors with an intravenous drip. She was also given potassium tablets to be taken orally at home. A toxicology report found Amelia had no sign of any alcohol or drugs including prescription drugs in her system at the time of her death. Coroner Jackson recorded a narrative conclusion into Amelia's death. He told the court: “Amelia died from natural causes most probably caused by a sudden arrhythmic cardiac event with a morphological normal heart. This could have possibly been caused by anorexia nervosa [she suffered with] for an extended period and feeling unwell during her pregnancy.”

Gareth had gone to the GP with stomach issues and swelling at the end of May and was referred for a scan at Prince Charles Hospital on July 3. Two days later, the dad, from Mountain Ash, Wales, was told a mass had been found, Wales Online reports.
