In November 2025, a tragic incident occurred in the UK when 30-year-old Luca Quinn unexpectedly passed away from a sudden heart condition called sudden arrhythmic death syndrome (SADS). Luca's best friend, Jed Pomeroy, recounts how Luca's girlfriend found him unresponsive in their flat after numerous unanswered calls. Despite efforts to resuscitate him, it was too late—Luca's heart had simply stopped working, with no clear cause.
SADS is a condition that affects around 500 people in the UK every year, causing sudden and unexpected cardiac arrest. Luca, who had an active job as a pipe fitter, showed no prior symptoms of any heart issues. His family was also tested, but no underlying condition was found. Jed, who has a separate heart condition, explains that more research is needed to fully understand SADS.
Luca's funeral in April 2023 was "completely packed," a testament to the impact he had on so many lives. Jed remembers his best friend as the "funniest person" with a "heart of gold" who could always make others laugh. The tragedy has left Luca's loved ones grappling with the sudden and unexplained nature of his passing.
