A family in Middlesbrough faced unimaginable grief when a funeral for a son turned into a second tragedy. David Beilicki, 41, was found dead at a relative\u2019s home on July 31 after years of battling addiction. His funeral took place on August 21 at St Bede’s Chapel in Teesside Crematorium \u2014 exactly ten years after the memorial for his stillborn twin sons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As mourners carried David\u2019s coffin into the chapel, his father, Norman \u201cNosha\u201d White, 61, suddenly collapsed at the doors. He was rushed to the hospital but couldn\u2019t be saved. His daughter Chantelle later said she believed he \u201cdied from a broken heart.\u201d Doctors note that extreme grief can trigger \u201cbroken heart syndrome,\u201d a sudden heart problem that can sometimes be fatal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Norman was remembered as a devoted father, grandfather, and friend. His funeral is scheduled for September 18 at St Hilda\u2019s Chapel, followed by burial at Acklam Cemetery. Chantelle shared online that the emotional strain of burying his son had been too much for him to bear, describing the day as one of overwhelming sorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A week later, she shared a personal memory of her father\u2019s rare emotional vulnerability when she was gravely ill, recalling his tears at the hospital. She said his strength shaped her resilience and that losing him so suddenly has left a lasting void in their family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
