A woman who watched her sister die just days after she suddenly became lethargic has spoken of her grief. Eileen Azzopardi, known fondly as Iyeiye, passed away in hospital eight days after she fell ill without warning on Easter Sunday (March 31).
The mum-of-six, who lived in Audenshaw, had been spending time with her family when she became extremely tired.
Her loved ones grew concerned when Eileen became delirious and unresponsive, struggling to remember the password to her phone.
As she fell asleep on the sofa, her family decided to call 999 and the much-loved mum, who had six daughters aged 12 to 18, was rushed to Manchester Royal Infirmary.

Eileen then received an urgent blood transfusion but her condition deteriorated within hours – leaving doctors totally baffled as they tried to determine what was wrong.
The mum was placed into an induced coma while medics carried out an endoscopy, a test where a camera is placed inside the body.
During the examination, they discovered part of her bowel had died, later deciding to operate so they could re-attach the bowel together.
But Eileen’s devastated family were told chances of surviving the procedure were slim, and six hours later, they learned her body had 'given up'.
Tragically, on April 8, they watched from her bedside as Eileen took her very last breath. She was just 36-years-old.
Now her loved ones are trying to come to terms with their monumental loss – saying her six young daughters Ellie 18, Amy, 17, Libby, 15, Stephanie, 14, Lyla, 13 and Lucie, 12, are finding life 'really difficult' without their mum.
