Horror as student collapses & dies days after ‘coming down with common cold’ – leaving family desperate for answers

A DEVASTATED mum has told how her daughter collapsed and died just three days after coming down with a "common cold."

Precious Moroke was rushed to hospital with "flu-like" symptoms before she tragically died on January 15 after collapsing at her family home in Glasgow.

Her death is being treated as unexplained and her heartbroken family are searching for answers.

Precious, who studied Immunology and Pharmacology  at Strathclyde University, had come down with cold symptoms three days earlier.

Devastated mum Nomvula Booi said: "It was so sudden. She got a kind of cold or flu a few days before and then she collapsed in the house.

"All she had said is that she had a cold, and we had gotten some remedies from the shop. We didn't know that it was more serious.

"I don't understand how this could have . She was not an ill person she was really healthy."

Precious' mum said working in healthcare was her daughter's biggest dream.

Tributes poured in from her school friends and colleagues, who described her as "hardworking" and "humble".

Nomvula has set up a fundraiser in memory of her beloved daughter.

She wrote on GoFundMe: "I just lost my beautiful kind daughter Precious suddenly.

"I am devastated to lose such a beautiful soul. A kind, helpful person to everyone young and old that knows her.

"Every donation is very much appreciated to give my daughter a send off she deserves.

"All the funds donated for Precious will cover her funeral expenses and a well deserved celebration of her life we have shared with with her.
