Billy-Jo said: "The day before [Tom's death], he was in full health. He came to see me and went to the pub with his friends for an hour and came back. He didn't tell anyone he felt unwell.
"The ambulance came within five minutes and they did CPR for about an hour. They couldn't open his mouth and thought he had been passed away for quite a while. I was devastated."

She added: "We're all just devastated. We were all very close growing up together and did everything together. We saw him near enough every day." The family have launched a fundraiser to help cover costs for Tom's funeral.
In the description on the GoFundMe page, Billy-Jo wrote: "Tom was a young and vibrant 29-year-old man with NO underlying health conditions. We are not really sure how or why this has happened, he's been ripped away from us and I don't think we're every going to come to terms with that.
"Our parents are broken, cannot even speak. We're trying to raise some funds to help with funeral expenses and give them one less thing to worry about...Let's give Tom the best send off we can!"
Billy-Jo continued: "We've had a lot from people we don't know. We never even realised he had so many friends. It will mean everything to give him the send off he deserves. I never wanted to lose my brother, the last thing I want is for him to look down thinking 'they could have done better.'"
