Shy girl, 18, shares first kiss with boyfriend... then collapses and dies from rare heart condition

A shy teenager collapsed and died minutes after she and a boyfriend kissed for the first time, an inquest heard yesterday.

Keen sportswoman Jemma Benjamin, 18, shared the romantic moment with fellow university student Daniel Ross on their way to his flat.

But after they went inside Miss Benjamin slumped on to the sofa and began to drift in and out of consciousness.

She suffered from the rare cardiac condition SADS, or Sudden Adult Death Syndrome, which kills about 500 people in Britain each year, the inquest was told.

Mr Ross, 21, tried to revive her before paramedics arrived, but nothing could have been done, the inquest heard.
