Lisa Lee, 25, was sleeping next to her husband Lewis Little when she thought she heard him snoring. “I shoved him out of bed to stop what I believed was snoring,” Lisa explained. But as she touched the moist sheet, she knew something wasn’t right. Lewis wasn’t breathing. “I turned on the light and stared at his battered face,” she added.
Panicked, Lisa called for an ambulance, but the wait felt endless. When medics arrived, they broke the heartbreaking news: Lewis had passed away hours earlier. The sound Lisa had mistaken for snoring was, in fact, air escaping his body and passing through his vocal cords.
Lewis had been diagnosed with Brugada syndrome, a rare heart condition, just a year earlier. Doctors had assured him that his life wasn’t in danger and that he could live a long life despite the condition. Tragically, just a year later, Lewis died unexpectedly in his sleep.
Lisa was left in shock. “I couldn’t believe it. The doctors told us he was going to be fine,” she said, still processing the sudden loss of her husband.
Brugada syndrome is a genetic condition that affects the heart’s rhythm and can lead to sudden death. In Lewis’s case, it proved fatal despite earlier reassurances.
Reba McEntire kicked off Super Bowl LVIII with a spectacular rendition of The National Anthem.
Reba McEntire captivated audiences with her stirring rendition of the National Anthem at Super Bowl LVIII on Sunday.
As McEntire delivered her performance, the broadcast showcased alternating images of soldiers stationed in South Korea and the American-flag-adorned Las Vegas dome. In a touching moment, Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle was visibly moved to tears.
Despite some minor audio issues, McEntire’s rendition garnered widespread acclaim on social media. Commentator Clay Travis remarked, “Post Malone and Reba McEntire both nailed it. And, by the way, I haven’t seen any NFL players kneeling for the anthem lately. It’s remarkable how that trend has disappeared, and ratings have hit all-time highs since then.”
McEntire, a celebrated country music icon, has a rich history of performing the National Anthem, dating back to 1974.
This year’s Super Bowl lineup also included Post Malone singing “America The Beautiful” and Andra Day performing “Lift Every Voice and Sing.”
In a previous interview with Good Morning America, McEntire shared her approach to preparing for such high-profile performances: “You warm up like you do for a concert, sing it five or six times, and then you’re ready to go.”
