Later, the nurse came back and told Abi that Seb failed the brain stem tests. His body has shut down, his heart stopped and he had died.
However, in harrowing scenes Abi was told the news and she broke down – falling to the floor screaming in agony for her lost son.
Soon Kevin made a call to Seb’s former landlady and friend Eileen to tell her the devastating news.
