Tributes paid to 'caring' teaching assistant who tragically died at just 26 after collapsing at work

A heartbroken mum has paid tribute to her "caring" daughter from Byker who tragically passed away at the age of just 26 after she collapsed at work.

Tiffany Walsh, who was a learning support assistant at Thomas Bewick School in West Denton, Newcastle, began feeling breathless and fell forwards hitting the ground. Despite the best efforts from her colleagues and the emergency services, she tragically passed away on October 3.

Her family has been told she died from cardiac arrhythmia which is a heart rhythm problem and said it could have been a "ticking time bomb". Tiffany's sudden death has devastated her loved ones and now her family is trying to raise as much money as possible to give her the "send-off she deserves".
