The family of a 24-year-old woman who suddenly died after going into a cardiac arrest in a supermarket collects donations to check young people for heart disease.

Josephine Chattorpes died in May 1999 from an undedented heart disease that could have been recorded with the screening.

For the anniversary, Miss Chaatterton's mother Monica said she wanted to collect £ 6,800 to examine 100 young people on a day in a day in the northeast of Lincolnshire.

Every week in Great Britain, at least 12 young people aged 35 die in Great Britain and suddenly die from a previously not diagnosed heart disease, as the cardiac risk of charity organization in the young (Cry) is evident.

Miss Chatterton recently completed a master's degree in music at Huddersfield University and planned a career in music therapy.

Around 09:00 BST, the graduate had stopped in the city on the way to the gym in Morrison's. She collapsed and died in the shop.

“We went through so many questions without immediate answers: What happened, how and above all, why?” Mrs. Chatterton said.

An investigation showed that Miss Chatterton died of a rare genetic heart disorder that led to a sudden heart death.

“Family of the family”

On the 26th anniversary of Josephine's death, her family put up a fair side to collect donations for the screening of people aged 14 to 35 in the northeast of Lincolnshire.

“We want to try to alleviate the destruction of other family if they lose a young person through sudden heart,” said Ms. CHatterton.

Miss Chatterton was the second youngest of five children. She would have been 51 in July.

“We now have grandchildren and great -grandchildren who are tested to ensure that there is no genetic inheritance for future concerns,” added Ms. Chatatterton.

The charity crisis said that it had used Parliament for a national screening program for almost 20 years.

Dr. Steven Cox, the managing director, said: “One of 300 young people who are checked will have a potentially life -threatening illness that is identified at the EKG. You will benefit from advice to prevent cardiac arrest.”

The screening event takes place in the Health and Wellbeing Center from Grimsby Leisure. A date has not yet been confirmed.
