A "healthy" 22-year-old died after a series of devastating heart attacks that "came out of the blue", according to her family and friends.
Jodie McCann, mum to four-year-old Freddie, had just enrolled to start training as a nurse when she was admitted to hospital in March with acute pancreatitis.
Jodie was keeping her mum, Sloane, updated when she started panicking, saying that she was having a heart attack.
"Mum, I think I'm having a heart attack. I'm going to die", Sloane heard Jodie say, before she told the 22-year-old to call for help.
Just over two weeks later, Jodie had suffered a total of 'five' heart attacks, four of which came in the harrowing moments before she died, according to her mother.
"Jodie had been in hospital for two days before everything started going downhill," Sloane Warbrick, 40, told the Manchester Evening News .
"She called me and said 'Mum, I think I'm having a heart attack. I'm going to die.' I told her to press the button and call for the nurse.
"The next day, I got a phone call from the hospital staff to say that she'd been found facedown in her bed, unresponsive after a cardiac event. Jodie had to be resuscitated for 20 minutes before being transferred to intensive care.”
Jodie, originally from Salford but by then living in Nottinghamshire, needed help to breathe and was put on a ventilator. She was also left needing dialysis machines as her liver and kidneys had failed, her mum said.

After several days and a hospital transfer, Jodie woke up again on Mother's Day to find out she needed a tracheotomy procedure.
But the next day, Sloane says the breathing tube "slipped out" and Jodie began to "suffocate", resulting in another "four heart attacks".
"You don't expect your daughter to pass away after going into hospital for pancreatitis," Sloane said. "She was healthy and used to walk everywhere.

"She was too young. Her little boy is only four-years-old. She had so many things to look forward to."
"I can't process it," continued Sloane, also from Salford. "It's one day at a time. I wait for phone calls from her that never come."
Best friend Skye Smith began a fundraiser to help the family pay for funeral costs and little Freddie's future.
