A new mum has told of the horrifying moment she found her partner unresponsive on the sofa on the morning she was due to give birth to their daughter.
Rebecca Moss fought tears as she described saying "wake up, it’s baby day", but Tom Gibson didn't respond. She went over to the couch to give him a kiss and found him lying in his usual sleeping position - but when she touched him, he was "cold and stiff" and wouldn’t wake up.
Rebecca told how she called 999, pulled Tom to the floor and started trying to resuscitate him - but it was too late. Tom, aged just 40, had died from a sudden cardiac death.
Less than two weeks earlier, Tom had been in A&E for 12 hours suffering with a stomach bug – where two heart tests showed a ‘complete heart block’, which can lead to sudden cardiac death.
Now, as reported by the Manchester Evening News, an inquest has found that the complete heart block was ‘missed’ in the results and never investigated further by doctors. Rebecca gave birth later that day in unthinkable circumstances, and Tom never got to meet the daughter he had longed for.
On Tuesday, almost a year to the day of Tom’s tragic death, the inquest began at Stockport Coroner’s Court. Tom was typically ‘extremely fit’ and healthy, with an active job as a carpenter, but the court heard how Tom had been suffering from a stomach bug from May 18, 2023.
Tom, from Stretford, had symptoms of diarrhoea and stomach ache, and had tried to seek help through his local GP surgery. The advice was to take Dioralyte, but the problems persisted for days.
On May 27, Tom had woken up feeling ‘extremely unwell’, heard the court. Tom was taken to A&E by his brother and arrived at Wythenshawe Hospital at around 8am.
