Jasmine Donkin fell ill on the morning of December 31 when she complained of a tight chest and trouble breathing.

She alerted her partner, Matt Cullen, who instructed her to sit on the lounge while he called her an ambulance, but it’s understood her condition quickly worsened.

Once paramedics arrived, they carried out CPR on Jasmine for three hours before transporting her to Queen Elizebeth The Queen Mother Hospital in Margate.

Doctors were able to stabilise her to perform a CT scan, but sadly the blood clots in her lungs had starved her bran of oxygen, causing her heart to shut down.
