Helen Smart, a former Olympic swimmer for Great Britain in 2000, was found dead at 42 by her 4-year-old daughter on early Saturday morning in a tragic scene.
Smart’s daughter Heidi found her mother unresponsive at 4 a.m. at a large cottage off the banks of Lake Coniston in Northwest England, the Daily Mail reported.
“Heidi had woken up in the night and tried to get into bed with her. She said to her daddy: ‘Mummy won’t wake up,’ Smart’s mother, Linda, told the Daily Mail. “He said: ‘Oh she must be very tired Heidi — you go back to bed.'”

Maybe an aneurysm?
lots of healthy young athletes dropping dead of “unknown causes” ...
seems weird how it’s written, like the father didn’t do much for a few hours after the little girl was told to go back to bed?
But it’s not what everyone knows it is.
Nope.
I assumed he went back to sleep thinking she was just sleeping…
A friend of mine’s wife died of an aneurysm in bed at night. She woke him up moaning and writhing and holding her head. By the time the ambulance got there she was dead. She was about the same age.
My ex-wife’s dad suffered an aneurysm on the golf course. Technically, he died 3 days later only because they had him on life support until his family got to town. Then they pulled the plug and he was gone.
My first wife died from aneurysm in small intestine. The coroner found this by performing autopsy. She was 48. I found her unresponsive when I came home from work.
A college frat president did much the same. Held his head, said he was in great pain, dropped dead.
Mid 20s.
Wow. I guess it is good you knew what happened.
Dude...
Vax Populi
Fauci just got another bonus.
“Maybe an aneurysm?”
The young son of a family friend died of a brain aneurysm; he was fourteen years old. He started to complain of terrible headaches one afternoon and was dead the next day. So tragic.
Agree -- awful reporting. Sounds like maybe she and the children were with her parents (the kids' granparents) at a summer rental and the father had to stay home for work, so the child called her father on the phone. Either that or he was there but sleeping separately from her -- some parents do that when they fall asleep on the couch but the other goes to bed. Or -- they are separated and the family asked the reporter to word it in that strange, non-descriptive way -- "she told her father."
If they were in the same bed, he would have naturally turned and touched her and felt that she was cold. That happened to a friend of mine whose young husband passed away in his sleep.
Still haven’t come up with a EUA vaccine for “Died Suddenly” pandemic.
One of my friends dropped dead from a brain anuerysm and fell over the table at her 36th birthday party in a restaurant, leaving an 8-year-old. I stil have a small gift she had given me years before for my wedding in 1968. It's in my kitchen and I think of her every day.
On the plus side, a relative of mine had the same in her 40s, but survived, although with paralysis on one side of her body. She has lived on for 25 years—it's amazing. Fortunately, she has a loyal husband and they have had adequate medical insurance.
Two other acquaintances had them and both recovered almost totally. You would never know.
I had a growing aneurysm which fortunately was caught before it burst by my doctor. I told her I would have chest pains when I exerted myself. She had me go to the ER, they saw what I had and I was scheduled for surgery.
Still here 5 years later.
