Woman in 50s dies with Covid just days after fainting from coughing fit
A devastated husband has paid tribute to his wife of 30 years who died with coronavirus at age 54.
Helen Hurley, described as a “happy and strong” woman who doted on her four grandchildren, lost her life on Wednesday, December 30 after being admitted to Prince Charles Hospital in Merthyr Tydfil just two days earlier.
Her husband Rob Hurley, along with their three children Kyle, Carly and Caitlin, were able to say their goodbyes in person thanks to intensive care staff who the family said “bent over backwards” to make her final moments comfortable.
“They moved my wife into a spare room so the four of us could be allowed in together. I had to stay strong for my kids whose hearts were breaking,” Rob said.
