A family paid tribute to a 'lovely person who would help anyone' after his sudden tragic death at the age of just 43. Jamie Alexander Brown was found unresponsive at his family home in Riding Gate, Harwood, in November 27 last year. An inquest into his death found that Mr Brown had an enlarged heart, which he did not know about.

The father-of-two was educated at Bolton School before becoming an electrical engineer, working with his dad, and then setting up his own company. His wife, Laura Brown, described him in a statement as: “Very active and loved outdoors. “He would go for walks, and he liked skiing, and cycling, and was physically fit.

“He was really hard-working, grafting long hours." She said Mr Brown had seemed more tired than usual in the months leading up to his death. His dad, Anthony Brown paid tribute to his son and called it a ‘tragic’ death.

He said: “Over 300 people attended the wake for his funeral. “He was just a lovely person, who would help anybody, and held no malice with anyone. “It is just a tragic loss.

” Mr Brown attended Royal Bolton Hospital days before his death and was diagnosed with salivary gland infection, which left one side of his face swollen, leaving him unable to talk or eat much. But the infection is not a fatal condition. At the hospital, Mr Brown was given antibiotics and pain relief, with codeine given to alleviate symptoms as he was discharged.

The family told the inquest Mr Brown had been released from hospital while.
