There were few signs Bryan Maris was unwell before he died in his sleep at the age of 31.Doctors say more research is needed into prevention and causes"I climbed in [to bed] beside Bryan and I lay beside him and he wasn't responding, and that's when I realised that something wasn't OK," his wife Jessica Maris said.And six years on from his death, his family still does not know what caused it.
