A budding teenage beautician and actress collapsed and died from a brain tumour that doctors thought was just a migraine. Leah Pearson, 18, passed away just hours after singing 'Happy Birthday' to her mother, Haley.
Student Leah had been receiving treatment for incurable cancer but had been reasonably well before she died suddenly last weekend. Her shocking death traumatised her family, who had been celebrating her Haley's birthday that day.
Heartbroken father Nigel, 39, sad: 'Leah had sang happy birthday to her mum who then opened all her presents.
'Her day was just her normal routine. After having breakfast she said "I feel sick" and that was it, she had a fit and then we phoned 999.' After Leah, from Barnsley, South Yorks., suddenly started fitting she was rushed to hospital - when she arrived she suffered further fits and tragically died.
Haley, Leah's mum, had turned 37 that day. She said Leah had been complaining of headaches in November and after visiting the doctor, was initially told the pain was caused by migraines.
Leah - the eldest of the couple's three children - was diagnosed with cancer in March but had been determined to beat the disease. Only a few weeks ago, she posted on Facebook: 'Cancer can kiss my big juicy ass butt because I will beat you.'
