Mum and unborn baby die as partner and two-year-old son left heartbroken

A grieving dad has paid a moving tribute after the sudden death of his fiancée and their unborn son. Paige Ellis died on July 23 at her Barry home following an epileptic seizure in her bed. She was due to give birth to Harri three months later.

The 28-year-old was engaged to Dan Dredge, 29, and they had a two-year-old son called Jax. "Paige was loved by everyone and she put everyone before herself," said Dan. "It doesn't feel real. I have never felt like this.

"Paige suffered with full-body epileptic seizures which came on with no warning. She would have a seizure and just collapse and normally they would last for three minutes. If she fell we would take her to hospital but if she didn't we usually wouldn't go. It could happen at any time. In a good year she would have two or three but sometimes she would have two or three in a day. Because she was pregnant she was on new medication. When she was pregnant with Jax she only had one seizure in her whole pregnancy but with Harri she had two in her last two weeks.
