Young Scots mum dies weeks after giving birth as husband pays tribute to 'best friend'

A young Scots mum who "made the world a better place" has died just six weeks after giving birth to her first child.

Tributes have been paid to Shannon Sime, 29, after she suffered a stroke in Australia earlier this month. Shannon, from Dalkeith in Midlothian, had been living in the Gold Coast with her husband Scott when she suffered the tragedy on August 5.

Shannon, who had shown no previous signs of being ill, was rushed to hospital and passed away just three days later. Six weeks earlier the young couple had just celebrated the birth of their daughter Harlow.
