Scots mum discovers 28-year-old son has died after he failed to turn up to family holiday

A brave Scots mum has vowed to create a legacy for her son after he suddenly passed away from a rare disease.

Jordan Crombie, 28, was diagnosed with Addison’s Disease three years ago after being plagued by a sudden onset of extreme tiredness which left him struggling to walk. At 25, he was told he would never play football again due to the autoimmune condition which he was managing with daily hormone tablets.

The disease, which affects around 8400 in the UK, is caused by damage to the adrenal glands that fail to produce enough cortisol or aldosterone.
