Healthy 21 year olds dying in their sleep is not normal:
Queensland family in shock as ‘fit and healthy’ 21yo son dies suddenly
February 2, 2023
A Queensland family is in mourning after their son Rickson, a well-loved former school captain, was found dead in his bed.
Rickson “Ricko” Williams, from the town of Wallaville in Queensland, died suddenly on January 11, just days before his 22nd birthday.
The much-loved former school captain was found dead in his bed.
His mother, Tanya Wright, said doctors discovered her son had an enlarged heart after his death.
“This is not a post I was expecting to write but it‘s nonetheless one that has to be written,” Ms Wright said on Facebook the day after his death.
“Anyone who knew us, knew how much Rickson meant to us and how much this loss will affect our lives and our family.
“He had his whole life ahead of him and had just put in an application to study a bachelor of music.”
His mother said doctors had discovered her son had an enlarged heart after he died.
Ms Wright said they “don’t know his exact cause of death” at this stage but thinks his enlarged heart “may be related”.
The family has set up a GoFundMe to cover the costs of his untimely death.
“As our family tries to find a way through this heartbreaking, difficult time, I would just like to reach out to our amazing community, loving family, and amazing friends for your support,” Ms Wright wrote on the fundraising page.
“He had come a tremendously long way from the difficulties he faced only a few short years ago.
“He loved life, and always wanted to be the life of the party, even when there was no party.
“Although the financial support won’t bring Rickson back, it hopefully will help us to give him the farewell he deserves and some time to mourn the unexpected loss of our loving son and brother without the added stress of financial burden.”
