Tragic 22-year-old admitted to hospital with pancreatitis - died two weeks later after 'five heart attacks'

"I wait for phone calls from her that never come." The mother of a tragic 22-year-old has shared her grief after the 'healthy' young woman died after a series of shocking heart attacks that 'came out of the blue', according to her family and friends.

Jodie McCann, mum to four-year-old Freddie, had just enrolled to start training as a nurse when she was admitted to hospital in March with acute pancreatitis. Jodie had been keeping her own worried mother, Sloane, updated with her recovery when the pair shared a devastating phone call.

'Mum, I think I'm having a heart attack. I'm going to die', Sloane heard Jodie say, before she told the 22-year-old to call for help. Just over two weeks later, Jodie had suffered a total of 'five' heart attacks - four of which came in the harrowing moments before she died - according to her traumatised mother.
