A grieving family has unveiled a stunning mural in honour of their son and brother who died suddenly during a cricket match aged just 24. Nottingham cricketer Josh Downie went into cardiac arrest during a game in Liverpool in May 2021. He was given CPR and rushed to hospital in desperate attempts to save his life but he sadly died, later found to have had an undiagnosed heart condition called arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy .

“He was also really caring and wanted to help people wherever he could. “It was a massive shock losing Josh and I remember just feeling really confused. It was so completely out of the blue.” Josh was one of five siblings, including Becky and Ellie, who is also an Olympic gymnast. Becky said the scariest thing after her brother’s death was learning that the rest of their family was at significant risk of suffering the same fate.
