The family of a solicitor who died suddenly aged just 33 have vowed to continue working to raise funds and awareness of cardiac risk in the young.

Greg Carr, a doting father to his son and fiancé to Rachael, died in May after a sudden cardiac arrest at his Wigan home. He had gone to bed as normal before waking in the early hours. A coroner this month concluded he had died from Sudden Adult Death Syndrome.

His death was a huge shock to his family and former colleagues at national firm Addleshaw Goddard, who described him as an ‘outstanding young lawyer’ who is hugely missed by his team and clients.

Carr was a keen sportsman, playing football every weekend and going to the gym. Since his death the family has worked with the charity Cardiac Risk in the Young to make a donations page and try to prevent the loss of other young people from cardiac arrest.
