A lady has been left widowed in Iowa simply 10 minutes after her marriage ceremony, because of her husband dying from a deadly blood clot, based on native experiences.

Monica Miller, who works with Johnnie Mae at ECO Supportive Living, mentioned: "It was the happiest day of Toraze's life. I may simply see the smile on his face and the way joyful he was.

"It [was] just his energy I just knew that he was just, it was a great day for him."

Ms Miller launched a crowdfunding marketing campaign within the wake of the tragedy, aiming to boost £100,000 to help with "burial expenses for Toraze and money to help the new bride with their children".

"We really want to stress that we want to be able to take care of her and... nurture her children and ourselves," Ms Miller added.
