A new inquest is being held today (Friday) into a nurse thought to have been killed by the shock of her early morning alarm, making legal history. 

Lisa Browne, 27, was found dead in her bed eight years ago after her alarm rang out at 6am. 

Medics believe the shock of the bell triggered a rare hear disorder, Long QT Syndrome.  It is the same condition that killed ex-Wales football boss Terry Yorath's 15-year old son Daniel. 

the original inquest into the death of Lisa, from Connah's Quay, recorded an open verdict. 

But, after new DNA evidence last year proved Lis did have the rare disorder, the High Court last month ordered a fresh inquest.  It takes place in Warrington Coroner's Court this afternoon. 

Lisa's family has fought for years to have Long QT recorded on her death certificate. 

Lisa's mum, Doreen Harley, has worked with heart charity Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY) since her daughter's death. 

A CRY spokesman said: "Officially, it is said between four and eight people die of Long QT Syndrome a year, but we know that the figure is more than 400.  Because little is known about the condition it is often not officially recognised as a cause of death. 

This new inquest will help us.   It will be a landmark case." 

Lisa worked at the Countess of Chester Hospital.
