Young mum's 'worst nightmare' comes true after fatal asthma attack

A young mum with 'debilitating' asthma died in bed, despite her family's efforts to revive her. Amy Greenwood, 22, who suffered with severe asthma all her life, was taken to the Royal Albert Edward Infirmary in Wigan on Wednesday evening where she later died on Friday, October 21.

The Skelmersdale native had just moved into a new home with fiancé Keagan Boylan, and her two children Bailey, four, and Orla, eight months, and was looking forward to getting married in June 2023. Amy’s dad Paul Greenwood explained that his eldest daughter had feared going to the shops alone in case an asthma attack struck - and that this attack at home was ‘her worst nightmare’ come true.

“It is just a shock,” Paul said.
