Birmingham: Girl dies suddenly in a rare deep sleep

Mariama Haughton, 15, was in year 11 just about to sit her GCSE’s when she tragically died in her sleep. Her mother says she didn’t even know she was gone. “I was shocked,” her mother said in an interview. “No one saw it coming, from what it seemed she was fine and she told me she was prepared for exams, now everyone’s saying goodbye to her”. Condolences are with this girls family and friends and the Mayor of Birmingham has announced a new holiday as of today (12/5/17) called “Sleep Death Awareness”.
