The family of a doting dad-of-three who died days after being found lying unconscious in his garden, have shared what life is like living in the shadow of a genetic disorder.
Kieran Taylor was born with Neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1) - a genetic condition that causes tumours to grow along the nerves in the body. During a routine check-up last month, doctors discovered Kieran had an NF1 tumour pressing on his abdominal gland. Two days later, on July 11, the dad-of-three felt unwell and was rushed to hospital.
After leaving hospital, the 32-year-old was found unresponsive in his garden after becoming confused. The Preston-born dad living in Walton died after his family made the heartbreaking decision to switch off his life support machine.
