Last January 19 year old Lucy Allum died unexpectedly in her sleep. Her devastated parents were later told she had fallen victim to sudden adult death syndrome. This is a mysterious adult version of cot death syndrome, which often strikes active and athletic people between the ages of 15 and 35.
Jenni is joined by Dr Elijah Behr from St. George's Hospital as well as Lucy's mother, Wendy, who tells Jenni more about the disease which stole her daughter's life. A SADS Conference will taking place on October 12th and 13th 2002 at the Royal College of Physicians in London. Further information can be obtained from Anne Jolly at SADS UK. Ph: 01277 230642.
