A rugby player died suddenly after complaining of a headache - just weeks after the birth of his first child.
Lloyd Walsh, 20, from Balderstone, Rochdale, was in a car with a friend when he complained of a sharp pain in his head. He then began to look 'a bit funny', an inquest heard.
The electrician, whose baby boy Mason was only four weeks old at the time, became unresponsive and an ambulance was called.
But by the time paramedics arrived around 10 minutes later no pulse could be found.
He was taken to Fairfield General Hospital, where it was recorded he had suffered a heart attack and pronounced dead.
A pathology report read out at the inquest said Lloyd died on November 21, 2012, from sudden adult death syndrome.
A post-mortem examination revealed no significant abnormalities in any of Lloyd's organs, major arteries, or respiratory system.
Recording a conclusion of death by natural causes coroner Simon Nelson praised Lloyd's family for the fundraising work they have done for CRY - a charity which offers support to families who have suffered a loss to sudden adult death syndrome.
