A teenager who had the "biggest heart" died just days after being diagnosed with a "silent killer".
Fay Adderley, from Huyton, began to experience absent seizures when she was a child but it wasn't until she was 18 years of age she was officially diagnosed with epilepsy. But just two weeks after the official diagnosis, on November 20, 2020, Fay passed away suddenly and unexpectedly after a seizure during the night.
Describing the SUDEP (Sudden Unexpected Death from Epilepsy) death, grieving parents Shirley and Neil, of Huyton, said it was "like a lightbulb going off", something that "no-one really survives".
