Lewis Little, 25, and Lisa Lee, 25, fell asleep close together, and Lisa believed she heard snoring.”I pushed him out of bed to stop what I thought was snoring.” But the moment I touched the moist sheet, I knew something was wrong.

He could not breathe, so I turned on the light and glanced at his damaged face. According to Metro.co.uk, the woman in distress stated, “I called the ambulance, but the time between my call and their arrival felt like a lifetime.”

When the physicians informed her that the man had died a few hours before and that the “snoring” she had heard was actually the sound of air exiting his body and striking his vocal chords, she was stunned.

Lisa was aware of her husband’s heart condition, Brugada syndrome. Although the doctors informed him that his life was not in danger and that he would live a long life, he appears to have died only a year after his diagnosis.
