Dad Found Dead Days Before Twins' First Birthday

A devastating loss has struck a family in Pencoed, Wales, as a father was discovered deceased by his partner just two days before their twin daughters’ first birthday. The partner found him unresponsive on August 20, 2025, plunging the family into profound grief. The twins, Livie and Georgina, born on August 22, 2024, have had a difficult first year, spending most of it in the hospital.

Little Livie was diagnosed with Russell-Silver syndrome, a rare growth disorder, while Georgina is undergoing chemotherapy for tumors in both eyes. The father had been a supportive and observant parent, noticing Georgina’s health issues when others hadn't. The family is now facing immense emotional and financial strain.

In the wake of this tragedy, friends have launched a fundraising campaign to support the mother and her young daughters. The cause of the father's death is not yet known, pending a post-mortem examination. This loss comes just as the family was celebrating milestones, adding an unbearable layer of sorrow.
