Tributes have been pouring in for a young mum-to-be who tragically died after going for a rest and never waking up. Leah Roberts, 21, who was five months pregnant at the time of her death, did not wake up after she went to lie down feeling unwell on August 1. Just three days before her tragic passing, Leah, from Cwmbran, just north of Newport, was overjoyed to find out she was expecting a baby girl, reports the Mirror .
The baby was set to be named Leena-Rose. The cause of Leah's heart-wrenching death has not yet been confirmed by authorities. Becky Davies, a friend of Leah's, paid tribute to her with the permission of the expectant mum's family.
She revealed that on the day Leah died, she was at her grandparents' house where she was living and had gone for a lie down, complaining of feeling unwell. However, alarm bells rang several hours later when she could not be woken up. Ms Davies said: "She had gone out in the day and returned to her grandparents' house as she wasn't feeling herself.
"She went for a lie down for 30 minutes. Someone came to call for Leah to see if she was going out somewhere and her grandfather went to her bedroom to try and wake her up and couldn't. "He went and told her grandmother he couldn't wake her so she went into the room and realised something was wrong, so took her off the bed and started performing CPR.
That's all it was, she just went for a nap and never woke up." Leah's mother, Martine Vaughan, rushed to the tragic scene alongside paramedics.
