BEV Watson admitted it was hard returning to her daughter’s school for a special assembly to help present a defibrillator.

Shivohn died in March 2013 aged just 13 after she was taken ill at the family home in Parr. An inquest into her death found that she had an undetected heart defect.

Bev, 44, went to Haydock High School with Mark King whose son Oliver died from Sudden Arrhythmic Death Syndrome (SADS) in 2011.

The Liverpool based Oliver King Foundation was created to raise awareness and help fund defibrillators for schools and colleges.

Mark handed over two defibrillators to the school which has trained a number of staff to use them.

She said: “It was lovely but very emotional for me. Shivohn should have been sat there at the top end of the hall with her mates.

“The way Mark described the day before Oliver died was very similar to mine. Although I was with Shivohn at the time he had to meet up with his son in hospital.

“After speaking with him I was re-living what happened. But to hear that somebody else go through the same thing was crazy.

“I told him he was the first person I could relate to.”

Bev said Shivohn’s death is still felt by some students at the school. “There are a couple who still find it hard and with the prom coming up it falls on Shivohn’s 16th birthday.”

Since her death, Bev raised money to buy a defibrillator for Haydock and has handed over cash to Eccleston Mere. She said: “I have around £2,000 left and hope to put that to good use.”
