A father-of-one who died after he collapsed suddenly while on holiday has been described as "the best person you could meet". Sign maker David Todd, 34, had gone to the Hotel Pantheon in Kos, Greece, with his partner Natalie Price to celebrate a friend getting married when he collapsed on September 7, 2019.
An inquest at Gwent Coroners' Court heard Mr Todd, of Tyne Close in Bettws, Newport, had been complaining of increasing heart problems before he passed out on the second day of his holiday not long after going inside to watch a rugby match. He was taken to hospital in Kos that afternoon but was pronounced dead later that day.
A statement read on behalf of Mr Todd's partner said he was "the best person you could meet" and added: "He was loved and he just wanted everyone to be happy. He loved life and was always looking forward to the next thing to do." Ms Price added that her partner was "very much missed by his work friends".
