The family of a young dad is reeling after he went into cardiac arrest during a long-awaited double heart valve replacement surgery and didn’t make it out.
When Mitchell Powell set off to the Bristol Heart Institute on February 3 last year to get the surgery, with a convoy of his mum Caroline, dad David, sister Kirsty and fiancée Danielle in other cars, he was in good spirits, excited to get the treatment over and done with.
The 26-year-old even tweeted a picture of himself outside the entrance, proudly wearing his Swansea City Football Club face mask, telling people 'the day had arrived', and 'let's go'.
