A 32-year-old father of two has tragically died suddenly after suffering a massive cardiac arrest while “laughing” with his work colleagues.
Ste Snell, from Liverpool, England, tragically collapsed in front of his horrified co-workers.
Snell was described as “perfectly fit and healthy,” leaving his family and friends in shock.
On March 2, Snell left his home to work at his factory job.
His work friends noted that ate a protein yogurt for breakfast at work.
He was always eating healthily even as his colleagues ate high-cholesterol options.
Snell’s work friends said he was “perfectly fit and healthy.”
However, just moments after joking with a co-worker, he collapsed and suffered a cardiac arrest.
His partner, Michelle said Snell was “having a joke with one of his workmates before he collapsed.”
His friends scrambled for help as Snell was lying on the floor, unresponsive.
They immediately began performing chest compressions while waiting for emergency help.
He was airlifted to Broadgreen Hospital, where medics attempted to revive him.
However, despite undergoing cardioversion 17 times to restore his heart rhythm, Snell’s heart wouldn’t beat for more than 40 seconds.
The cardiac arrest was so severe that even someone in perfect health such as Snell could not survive.
James Jones, Snell’s best friend, shared his shock with the Liverpool Echo, recalling:
“Around ten minutes before he collapsed he was having a joke with one of his work mates, Kenny, just stood there laughing as they always do.
“Kenny walked away from the machine to grab something and when he came back a minute or two later, Ste was just lying on the floor.
“They rang 999 [emergency services] and started doing chest compressions.
“And then they were told to get the defibrillator.”
Sadly, despite the best efforts of the medical team, Snell’s organs began to fail.
His family made the heart-wrenching decision to turn off his life support.
Jessica added: “He did everything for Michelle and his two kids.
“Michelle and his kids were his entire world.
“He doted on them, he was the best dad,” Jessica said.
“He was the best brother and he adored his mum.
“He was a fantastic partner, a brilliant friend, and a massive Liverpool [soccer team] fan.
“He’s so missed by everyone.”
In an effort to help Michelle and her children cope with the financial strain caused by Snells’s sudden passing, Jessica set up a GoFundMe page.
The post, shared on the fundraising site, reads:
“Hi, we’re raising money to help our amazingly strong friend Michelle Carroll and her two beautiful children James and Ada after the tragic loss of her partner and their dad Ste Snell.
“Ste sadly passed away 03/03/2025 very suddenly which has turned Michelle’s and her children’s world upside down.
