Mum thought daughter was 'messing around' before sudden death

A "beautiful angel" who was taken far too soon was "adored" by her loving parents as tributes came pouring in.

Shirley Adderley said she thought her daughter Fay was "messing around" when she went to wake her up on November 20, 2020. But after being "unresponsive", it appeared the 18-year-old had suffered a seizure during the night.

Just two weeks before, Fay had officially been diagnosed with epilepsy after years of absent seizures, but her medication had still not arrived. Parents Shirley and Neil, of Huyton, want to raise awareness of SUDEP (Sudden Unexpected Death from Epilepsy) as they said it was "like a lightbulb going off" and something that "no-one really survives".
