I HAVE MADE A DECISION TO APPROVE CANDLES BEFORE THEY ARE PLACED ON MY ANGELS SITES
I APPRECIATE WITH ALL MY HEART ALL THE KIND CANDLES AND TRIBUTES LEFT , AND WISH ALL MY GTS FRIENDS
TO CONTINUE THIS PLEASE ,
HOWEVER THERE ARE CERTAIN INDIVIDUALS WHOM HAVE STARTED TO ACT HORRENDOUS IN MY LIFE AND CONTINUE TO
TRY AND CAUSE TROUBLE EVEN VIA MY ANGELS SITES ..
THESE PEOPLE HAVE NO IDEA OF THE PAIN OF LOSING A CHILD ,AND ONLY AS A MUM TO AN ANGEL CAN
UNDERSTAND THIS PAIN

The Silent Killer !!
Sudden death syndrome
Every single week, 15 young people from all walks of life die from the condition known as Sudden
Death Syndrome. Now research done in the Midlands has found a new way of diagnosing people at risk
so they can get treatment before tragedy strikes.

Young, bubbly mum Vicky Johnson
Shannon Marie was just five months old when she lost her happy, carefree mum, Vicky Johnson, a
victim of Sudden Death Syndrome at the age of 20.
They were just one day into their holiday in Whitby.

“People ask, ‘How did she die?” I say of SADS, she collapsed. People can’t grasp that. We
can’t explain that either. A fatal arrhymthmia of the heart. You can see in their faces they just
don’t understand. ‘Oh, is it like cot death in babies?’ Well yes, it comes under the umbrella
of that. It was such a sudden blow. Vicky was always so bubbly, full of energy.
She never complained of the signs that can sometimes present themselves – blacking out, dizziness.
We had never even heard of the condition until her death.”

Sudden Death Syndrome is an umbrella term used for the many different causes of cardiac arrest in
young people.
Conditions include thickening or abnormal structure of the heart muscle and irregularities of the
electrical impulse that upset the natural rhythm of the heart.

What is doubly saddening to the family is that the cause of Vicky’s death is hereditary. Shannon,
now nearly 4 years old, stands a 50-50 chance of having the condition also, as do other immediate
members of the family.

Vicky died on August 31st 2003 at 7.20 pm. She collapsed shortly before, while pushing Shannon’s
buggy .
She would have been 21 on February 19th. 2004

“I had to frantically find the number for Whitby Hospital. It was a nightmare. She must have
arrived by the time I got through. I spoke to the sister. She said could we get there as soon as
possible. I told her we were at least two hours away. She said Vicky had been brought in because she
collapsed and they were working on her.
I was hysterical by this time. “My husband and girls had gone up to the horses to make sure they
were fed. I was on my own. the Sister was called away and a nurse took the phone. I said ‘Please
don’t tell me we are going to lose her.’ I was standing there screaming ‘Please fight
Vicky”.
We were probably in the road for 10 minutes when my mobile rang. It was the hospital. We were asked
if we could pull over, we couldn’t we were on the motorway and there was no hard shoulder.
“David (dad)was out of his mind. The doctor said ‘I’m sorry to have to tell you but we lost
the fight.’ I begged him to carry on trying to resuscitate. He said he couldn’t because the
length of time they’d been trying was longer than they would normally have done and there was no
response, no signs from her. “I just felt numb, I screamed. I couldn’t take it in. I thought:
‘No, they haven’t got the right one, not Vicky, its someone else.’

“When we arrived at the hospital The sister took us in to see Vicky. Seeing the curtain around her
was the most horrendous sight I’d ever seen because I knew what was behind there.
“She pulled the curtain back. My little girl was just lying there. It was the most horrendous,
horrible feeling. I just expected her to wake up, like she was asleep.
“Then the doctor came in who had tried to save her. He said they’d given her injections to thin
the blood but she’d already gone into cardiac arrest when she came in. They didn’t know why she
had fainted, arrested and died. That would be answered with the post mortem.
“This however was inconclusive so Vicky’s death had to go to inquest.

“It was on December 5th. We had a long wait jut not knowing. Vicky’s body was released because
there was no foul play. She was brought to the Chapel of Rest in Alverthorpe, Wakefield, near the
family home. Her funeral was on September 11th at St Paul’s Church –
the awful date of the plane crashes, now a disaster for me also.
