The son and daughter of a
young mother who died of sudden death syndrome have been diagnosed with
the same disease.
Four-year-old
Liam Belger and his baby sister Ella were screened for the rare heart
defect cardiac arrhythmia following the death of their 21-year-old mum
Amanda, of Plas Porth, Uchaf, Conwy.
A
London-based cardiologist also carried out specialised ECG tests on
Mandy's close family and relatives, but results showed that her two
children were the only ones found to have long QT syndrome.
It
is the latest in a series of setbacks for the Belgers. Last year the
Weekly News reported how police wrongly blamed Mandy's death on
heroin overdose, following speculation over a batch of rogue drugs
circulating in the Caernarfon area where she was found dead.
Her mother Sandra Armstrong
said North Wales Police admitted the mistake, hut she is yet to receive
an apology.
