A healthy mum thought she might have been pregnant when she fell ill on holiday, only to leave investigators confused as to the cause of her death, an inquest heard.
Eshe Symonds died on holiday in Jamaica after she thought her vomiting was a result of morning sickness.
Sadly, only two days later the 31-year-old began to suffer from a tightness in her chest, BirminghamLive reported.
Even after being taken to hospital, she would die that same day.
The sudden and unknown nature of the security boss’s death left a number of questions from her heartbroken family.
An inquest at Birmingham Coroner’s Court concluded today for the mum from TIpton, who leaves behind a seven-year-old daughter.
She died of natural causes, but despite the autopsy in Jamaica, more post-mortem work in the UK was unable to specify the medical cause of her death, the court was told.
A Jamaican pathologist concluded she died from pulmonary hemorrhagic syndrome, whilst the post-mortem conducted in Birmingham decided it was not possible to return a cause of death.
The Birmingham-born mum had travelled to Jamaica on December 3, last year, to visit her boyfriend and loved ones over the festive period.
She went out with a friend who was visiting her fiance to get married.
Their texts and video chats across the holiday documented how they both caught flu that “went through the community over Christmas”.
After that, Eshe and her friend recovered and had no other issues until January 11.
However, it was then she began being sick and vomiting.
As she had not had her period that month, the friends assumed she was pregnant and was suffering from morning sickness.
Because of this, she decided she didn’t need medical help until January 13, when the tightness in her chest developed, the inquest heard.
It was only then her boyfriend insisted she get help, but sadly she died later that day at Linstead Hospital, Jamaica.
Her medical cause of death was recorded as "unascertainable" at the final inquest.
Area Coroner James Bennett said: "Eshe was on holiday in Jamaica and understood to be in good health.
“She developed flu-like symptoms and abdominal pain and vomiting. On the evening of January 13, she developed tightness in her chest and was admitted to Linstead Hospital, Jamaica and died later that day.”
A post-mortem examination was conducted in Birmingham upon Eshe's return but it was not possible for the pathologist to determine the cause of death.
"However, there was no evidence to suggest her death was due to anything other than natural causes.
“She was very young to pass away and I've no doubt her passing caused a great deal of upset and anguish."
He added that there was no evidence that the reference to "pliable material in the uterine cavity" would have caused or contributed to her death.
