A family is calling for more research into sudden death among young people as it claims a mobile phone ring may have sparked their daughter's death.
Kasia Ber, 17, who had an undiagnosed heart problem, died in bed at her parents' County Durham home last year.
Subsequent tests showed she had the genetic disorder Long QT syndrome, which is treated with beta blockers.
Her family want more research into how sudden shocks or noises, like phones, can trigger potentially fatal attacks.
An inquest in Hartlepool heard evidence from Miss Ber's boyfriend Scott Wheatley, who said she began shaking when her mobile phone alarm went off on the morning of 28 December last year.
She stopped breathing soon afterwards.
Also, fridge magnets 'can be a killer'.
