Clare Duffy, 41, is found dead by her husband after going to sleep with shoulder pain.
The mother-of-two woke up one morning with an aching shoulder pain. She thought a hot bath and and a good nap would make her feel better, and asked her husband to wake her up if she overslept. Sadly, Clare didn’t wake up again.
Her husband, Richard Duffy, was horrified when he went to their bedroom to check on Clare and found her unresponsive. He frantically dialed 911, but she was already dead. Clare was declared dead on January 8th and it is believed she died from a pulmonary embolism.
A pulmonary embolism occurs when a clump of material, most often a blood clot, gets stuck in an artery in the lungs. It blocks the flow of blood and can be life-threatening if not treated quickly.
Duffy and Richard have two children, Harry, 16, and Alice, 15.
Duffy’s mother, Catherine, had also died on December 19, 2022, just over a month ago. Richard said their kids are still struggling to come to terms with their mum’s passing. “My son is still closed off. It was worse for my daughter,” he said. Richard explained, “I was emotionally distraught. I was screaming. I ran into my daughter’s bedroom and I was straight on the phone to emergency services. It doesn’t feel real but it all feels like a blur. It went by so quickly.”
