Husband pays heartbreaking tribute after wife dies on honeymoon in Amsterdam
In unimaginably heartbreaking events, newlywed Madison Noronha, from Australia, collapsed and died last week as she was on her honeymoon.
On 15 May, 27-year-old Madison suffered a brain aneurysm while on her holiday in Amsterdam.
Madison, who was a Communications and Media student, fell unconscious in the middle of the street and was rushed to hospital for CT scans, which revealed the aneurysm.
The NHS states that an aneurysm is a bulge in a blood vessel caused by a weakness in the blood vessel wall - and most brain aneurysms only cause noticeable symptoms if they burst.

Madison then underwent surgery, but sadly passed away on 17 May.
Kyle took to Facebook to share a tribute to his beloved wife and share the devastating news of her passing.
He wrote: "Absolutely shatters me trying to type this. Our beloved Madison Noronha was rushed to hospital on Wednesday afternoon here in Amsterdam after collapsing unconscious in the streets.
"CT scans revealed a large bleed to the brain and also which has turned out to be a fatal aneurysm to her brain.
"Madi had instant brain surgery to relieve pressure from the bleed.
"The doctors could not believe the size of the aneurysm and nothing could prevent this from happening and nothing could be done to save her.
"Madi fought like she always does right to the very end.
"She passed away in my arms surrounded by all her loved ones at 10:59pm here in Amsterdam.
"My darling wife I cannot comprehend what has happened im in a million pieces. Forever and always babe."
A GoFundMe has been set up in Madison's memory.
It reads: "Madison Noronha (Chatham) was loved and cherished beyond measure.
"Madi was in Amsterdam with her husband Kyle when she had a fatal brain aneurysm. Doctors tried their hardest to save Madi but tragically nothing could be done to save her.
"We are all left heart broken, but can’t imagine the pain that Kyle and her immediate family are experiencing.
"Madi’s parents have graciously agreed to let us create this page, to help raise money to ease the financial stress and burden off the family during this incredibly difficult time.
"Funds raised will help with flights, funeral costs and to help bring our beloved Madison home to be laid to rest."
The fundraiser initially had a $50,000 target, and has now surpassed $67,000 at the time of writing.
