Tributes have been paid to a "courageous and intelligent" young woman who died after suffering a seizure while at work and hitting her head on the bar at a Manchester club. Eliza Morris, 22, was rushed to hospital for surgery after collapsing but later passed away.
Eliza, who worked at the Feel Good Club coffee shop and bar, died three days after she suffered a seizure, collapsed and hit her head on January 1 this year. The young woman, who was diagnosed with epilepsy in 2017, was transferred from Manchester Royal Infirmary to Salford Royal Hospital for surgery after suffering a skull fracture in the fall, but it was not successful.
An inquest into the Manchester Metropolitan University student's death was held at Bolton Coroner's Court. The court heard how Eliza was diagnosed with a brain arteriovenous malformation - also known as brain AVM - when she was eight and needed to have surgery which left her skull more vulnerable, the Manchester Evening News reported.
