LFC fan who 'lived and breathed' club dies after sudden pain

A Liverpool FC fan who "lived and breathed" the club has died suddenly after feeling pain in his chest.

Nathan McKnight, from Bromborough, was at home with his mum watching Batman when he suddenly started to feel pain in his chest. The 19-year-old suffered from a number of conditions prior to his chest pain which included Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a disease which gradually reduced his mobility and independence, in addition to him then contending with cardiomyopathy, epilepsy, Addison's disease and severe scoliosis as his condition progressed.

Nathan called his mum into the room, who called an ambulance to take him to Arrowe Park Hospital. The 19-year-old went into cardiac arrest and despite a number of attempts to revive him he died on Monday, June 12.
