Wes Brown was “stunned” last night after his pregnant sister died —
his second family tragedy in five months.
The Manchester United defender was still coming to terms
with the death of his father Bancroft in February.
Half-sister Claire Fallows, 36, died in hospital on Saturday night.
Claire, around three months pregnant, had collapsed twice
in the last week and it is believed she had a history of heart problems.
England ace Wes, 28, discovered he had a secret sibling just five years ago.
He learned of her death while on United’s pre-season tour of South Africa.
Last night a family friend said: “Wes had only just got to know Claire and now he has lost her.
“She was a down-to-earth girl who was not bothered that he was a Premiership footballer.
She was more interested in the fact that she had found her brother.”
Asda worker Claire, of Burnley, Lancs, leaves a husband Tom, 36,
and three sons aged one, 13 and 16.
All manutdtalk staff and members wish to pay their deepest condolances
to her husband, young children, her family and most of all to Wes.
Rest in peace Claire
