A teenager who was found dead in bed by his mother after having suffered a cardiac arrest had earlier complained of feeling 'sick and overwhelmed', an inquest heard.George Edwards, 18, was found unresponsive at his home in Altringham, near Manchester, on November 12, 2021.

When police and paramedics arrived the youngster was tragically pronounced dead at the scene, clutching a teddy. As reported by MEN, an inquest at South Manchester Coroner's Court overseen by assistant coroner Anna Morris heard a heartbreaking testimony from George's mother Tracy in which she revealed she had checked on him that morning and found him 'lifeless'.

Ms Edwards said her son had reported feeling 'overwhelmed' and had vomited in the week leading to his death. The day before his death, he told his mum he had a headache, a sore throat and that 'his lungs felt funny'.

Pathologist Dr Vicki Howarth said the evidence suggested George suffered a loss of blood flow to his heart some hours before his death, but there was 'no evidence as to the cause of the initial cardiac event'.
