Mum lost her three-year-old son to sudden unexplained death - but is consoled by kindness of strangers

A mum who lost her three-year-old son to an unexplained death has shared the moment her family's life was changed forever.

Emily, 34, and Darren Bowes, 39, from Lancaster, lived as any other family of four with another child on the way. Their boys, Alexander, three, and Freddie, two, made up their happy family bubble, spending many holidays and weekends in local parks running around with faces full of joy.

After a Christmas full of yet more joy and many happy memories, the family's life was altered forever the following day, when son Alexander died suddenly for reasons unknown. Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood is rare with about one death per 100,000 children, reports Lancashire Live.
