Andrew Muncie had fallen ill on his way home from work after suffering a stress-induced asthma attack.

Andrew, from Loughborough, suffered the medical episode on Thursday, August 7 and was taken to the Intensive Care Unit at the Queen’s Medical Centre in Nottingham.

He died suddenly four days later on Monday, August 11 after suffering a cardiac arrest related to the asthma attack.

The 36-year-old died just one day before his fiancée gave birth to twin boys in the same hospital.

The couple also had a three-year-old daughter, described as Andrew's “absolute world”.

Andrew's brother, Corey, said: “Andrew was an amazing brother and a proper staple in the family - he was there for everybody and just wanted us all to be together all the time, loving, caring and extremely passionate about everything he did.

“He was everything you would want in an older brother and more.

“I was at home when my mum rang me (to tell me what had happened) and it was pure shock - it stunned me completely.
