THE partner of an "outstanding" dad-of-two woke up to find him dead in bed next to her.
Heartbroken Amelia Louise said she feels "empty" after turning over to see Damien Jones, 30, still and "blue in the face".
The couple had been "laughing and joking" on Monday night and went to bed as normal.
But Amelia woke up to find her partner of eight years Damien – known as Dash – lying unresponsive next to her.
She frantically tried to revive him while their children David-Lloyd, five, and Esme-Rose, three, watched in horror, the Daily Post reports.
Paramedics also rushed to their home in Wrexham, Wales, but Damien was pronounced dead at the scene.
A bereft Amelia Louise said: "I am heartbroken and I feel empty, my life will never be the same but I must remain strong for our babies.
"We went to bed as normal on Monday, laughing and joking no issues and when I woke up he was just lay there, so still, blue in the face and as I called out his name and started shaking him I knew there was an issue.
"After having doing CPR for more than 20 minutes, whilst our babies lay there watching, I couldn't accept when the ambulance told me he had passed."
She continued: "He was my king and I was his queen, together forever we told one another.
"After trying for years to build a family, having lost several babies this was all Damien wanted, a life where he could be happy in himself and the people surrounding him."
Family friend Samantha Davies set up a GoFundMe page after the tragedy to help towards funeral costs.
It describes Damien as a "top lad, the light of the party" who "lit up everyone’s hearts with his laughter and character".
His family said they are waiting for postmortem results to determine his cause of death.
They told North Wales Live he had popped into hospital the Saturday before with breathing issues but was sent home after being being told it was believed to be muscular pain.
