Shy girl, 18, shares first kiss with boyfriend... (WTF.?!)

...then collapses and dies from rare heart condition.

 

A shy teenager collapsed and died minutes after she and a boyfriend kissed for the first time, an inquest heard yesterday.
Keen sportswoman Jemma Benjamin, 18, shared the romantic moment with fellow university student Daniel Ross on their way to his flat.
But after they went inside Miss Benjamin slumped on to the sofa and began to drift in and out of consciousness.

She suffered from the rare cardiac condition SADS, or Sudden Adult Death Syndrome, which kills about 500 people in Britain each year, the inquest was told.
Mr Ross, 21, tried to revive her before paramedics arrived, but nothing could have been done, the inquest heard.
He told police that he and Miss Benjamin had been friends for three months, but the evening she died was the first time they had kissed.
He said: ‘It was not a sexual relationship. We saw each other a couple of times a week.
‘We were going to go to a bar for some food and went back to my house for a credit card which I had forgotten.
‘We were talking and ended up kissing by the front door.
‘We went into the kitchen and then the living room and Jemma sat down on the sofa.’
Mr Ross said Miss Benjamin’s eyelids suddenly ‘began to droop’ and her mouth started to froth before she collapsed at his student flat in Pontypridd, South Wales.
He said: ‘I rang her mother to see if she had epilepsy. She fell in and out of consciousness.’ After dialling 999 Mr Ross was given instructions in administering CPR over the phone, but was unable to revive the teenager.

TRADUÇÃO:

 Jemma Benjamin, 18 anos, elegeu o colega de universidade Daniel Ross, de 21, para dar o primeiro beijo na boca da vida, marcando o início do namoro do dois. Só que minutos depois do beijo, a jovem tímida morreu de forma fulminante no sofá da casa de Daniel, em Treforest (Inglaterra).

A jovem, que praticava natação e era uma atleta exemplar do time de hóquei da universidade, sofria de uma condição cardíaca rara - síndrome da morte súbita por arritmia. Daniel chamou socorro e tentou reanimar a namorada, mas não obteve sucesso. Os médicos disseram que ele nada podia fazer.

O casal se conhecia há três meses e o primeiro beijo era muito aguardado. Jemma não tinha histórico de problemas cardíacos, segundo reportagem do "Daily Mail". O caso aconteceu em 2009, mas os detalhes só foram revelados agora pelo inquérito que apurou a morte.
