Durham University student, 19, dies of cardiac arrest while on holiday in Paris

A Durham University student has tragically died after collapsing in the shower while on holiday in Paris.

Rhea Hourigan, 19, was visiting her aunt in the French capital at the end of April when she passed away after suffering a cardiac arrest. The first year student had spent the day travelling through the city on an electric bicycle while on Easter holidays with her aunt to see the sights.

But later that evening as she was getting ready for bed Rhea, who worked at Nando's, collapsed in the shower. And despite the best efforts of the paramedics who raced to the scene, she sadly couldn't be saved.
