OMG! Woman Who Thought Her Boyfriend Was Snoring, Kicks Him Out of Bed Only to Discover This Shocking Thing

A woman has gotten the shock of her life when she kicked her boyfriend out of their bed because she thought he was snoring.

Lisa Lee, a young mother who kicked her boyfriend out of bed because he was snoring loudly was horrified to discover he was dead and the noise was actually air leaving his body, The Sun UK reports.

Heartbroken Lisa Lee’s partner Lewis Little, 25, suffered from rare heart condition, Brugada syndrome but was deemed a low risk by doctors.


Lisa, also 25, said: “We were told that Lewis would have a long, happy and healthy life – but he died one year after diagnosis.

“When we were in bed I just thought he was snoring, so I kicked him out of the bed and told him to shut up.

“But I felt that the sheets were wet and knew something was wrong. I turned the lights on and his face was purple – he wasn’t breathing.

“I called an ambulance and it felt like it took forever. They pronounced him dead at the hospital. I later found out that the snoring sound was the air leaving his body.

“Losing Lewis has destroyed me and our son Tyler.”

The mum-of-one has now started a petition to get people with the rare condition fitted with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD), a device which restarts the heart.

She said: “I believe being fitted with an ICD would have saved my partner’s life.

“I want people with the same condition to have the choice, low risk or high to have an ICD fitted.

“The syndrome is a silent killer – I just want to raise awareness of it and make sure something gets done.”

The couple, from Ashington, Northumberland, visited both the Wansbeck Hospital, in Ashington and the Freeman Hospital, in Newcastle, for regular check ups after learning about Lewis’s condition, but say they were assured that he was “low-risk”.

Lewis, who worked as an agency worker, lived a completely normal and active life and was not prescribed any medication for the condition in the lead-up to his death in August last year.

Lisa now worries that their two-year-old son Tyler may also have the hereditary condition and is terrified that history could repeat itself.

The sales assistant said: “I know I can’t change what happened to my family, but I just want to save other families from going through the same grief because of Brugada.

“Lewis should have had the option to have an ICD fitted, but he wasn’t ‘high risk’ enough. Things like this can’t be categorised.

“Lewis was my soul mate. He would always say to me that he would propose – he had already picked out our wedding song.

“It has just put everything into perspective, life is so short and I feel like I was very naive to think that nothing like this would ever happen.”

Last month a “fit and healthy” pregnant woman collapsed and collapsed suddenly at home and died, leaving her devastated boyfriend “completely numb”.

Brugada syndrome is an uncommon but serious heart condition which can result in abnormally rapid heart rhythms causing palpitations or fainting.

The problem can be genetic, or may be passed on in families, but it is possible for people with the condition to have no symptoms at all.

It is a leading cause of sudden cardiac death in young, healthy people and may not be diagnosed because there are no visible abnormalities.
