A young and bright mother-of-two passed away suddenly just weeks after giving birth to her baby daughter.
23-year-old Amelia Smith was a “kind and beautiful” lady who felt as normal as one according to her 25-year-old partner Tom Mooney.
As the grieving father added, his partner was completely fine when the two went out for a dinner together with their kids on November 13. After returning home, the family watched a movie before Amelia went to sleep at around 11.30 pm.
On the following morning, just over a month after she had given birth to her second baby, the young mom from Kirkby, England, was found dead in her bed by her partner.
“We went out on Saturday for food, watched a film, went to bed at 11.30 pm, everything was normal, and then obviously this has happened,” Mooney said in an interview with Liverpool Echo.
“She went in her sleep, so it was peaceful. She had her hair done the day before, her eyelashes, her brows and her nails, so she must have known people were coming to see her.”
The distressed boyfriend went on to recall the hours leading to his tragic discovery by saying:
“She fed the baby at 4.00 am, then went back to sleep. I woke up at 6.30 am with the two kids, brought them downstairs and at 8.45 am I went back upstairs, and she was just lying there.
“So whatever has happened in those few hours I don’t know. But we are still waiting to hear back from the coroner.”
As of this writing, the heartbroken family still doesn’t know Amelia’s cause of death and is awaiting the results of the autopsy.
Though it is unclear if that had anything to do with the 23-year-old’s passing, Mooney has since revealed that Amelia was hospitalized due to low potassium levels just three months before she gave birth to her daughter.
“She has two kids now that she hasn’t got to see grow up. She was like the glue that held us all together, she did everything. I am trying to keep a brave face for everyone, but it is hard, and I am struggling, badly struggling,” Mooney added.
“I’ve been kicking myself thinking that I should have gone up earlier, I just thought she was having a lie-in because she had the baby at 4 am.”
