Heartfelt tributes have flooded in for Troy Bogle, a 20-year-old trainee bricklayer who tragically passed away after a sudden and fatal blood clot.
Troy, who had been diagnosed with schizophrenia, collapsed unexpectedly on July 28, 2025, while at the Tamarind Centre, a mental health facility in Bordesley Green, Birmingham. He became breathless before collapsing on the ward. Emergency resuscitation efforts were made, and he was rushed to Birmingham Heartlands Hospital, but he died shortly after arrival.
The inquest, held this month, confirmed that Troy died from a spontaneous pulmonary embolism — a sudden blockage in the lung caused by a blood clot. Prior to the incident, routine physical health assessments had revealed no concerning abnormalities.
