The
family of a man who dropped dead in a pub from Sudden Adult Death Syndrome
(SADS) is donating more than £2,000 from a commemorative event to a
charity tackling the condition.
Thomas Lloyd, 36, the
youngest of seven children raised in Portnall Road, Paddington, died on
June 11 from the same affliction which killed Cameroon football star
Marc-Vivien Foe just two weeks later.
Mr Lloyd was at the
Claddagh Ring Pub in Church Road, Hendon, watching a football match on
television with friends.
His family raised £2,113
at the Corrib Rest culture centre in Salisbury Road, Queens Park, on
Saturday and all the money will go to the charity CRY (Cardiac Risk in the
Young), which provides medical information and a counselling service for
bereaved families.
Recalling the tragic
events, his brother Henry, 47, said:
