A man who was ‘perfectly healthy’ when he went to bed has died in his sleep only days before his 22nd birthday.
Rickson Williams reportedly went to his bed at his home in Queensland, Australia, but his grieving family said he never woke up.
They believe that he could’ve died due to an undiagnosed heart condition after they were informed that Rickson had an enlarged heart.
Rickson’s heartbroken mother, Tanya Wright, said the family is still shocked by his sudden passing.
“This is not a post I was expecting to write but it’s nonetheless one that has to be written,” she wrote on Facebook.
“Anyone who knew us, knew how much Rickson meant to us and how much this loss will affect our lives and our family.”
A GoFundMe page was setup to help with the funeral expenses.
Rickson “always wanted to be the life of the party,” it read. “As our family tries to find a way through this heartbreaking, difficult time, I would just like to reach out to our amazing community, loving family, and amazing friends for your support.”
Rickson previously worked at a gardening center and was set to enroll on a BA in music.
Ms. Wright continued: “He had come a tremendously long way from the difficulties he faced only a few short years ago.
“He loved life, and always wanted to be the life of the party, even when there was no party.
“Although the financial support won’t bring Rickson back, it hopefully will help us to give him the farewell he deserves and some time to mourn the unexpected loss of our loving son and brother without the added stress of financial burden.”
