A family in the UK is in shock after a father died of a 鈥渂roken heart鈥 at his own son鈥檚 funeral service.

Norman 鈥淣osha鈥 White collapsed outside of St Bede鈥檚 Chapel in Middlesborough on August 21, the Sun reports.

Emergency services responded to the scene of the suspected heart attack and took the 61-year-old to hospital, where he later died.

The father of seven was about to attend the funeral of his son, David Bielicki, 41.

Another family member found David dead on July 31.

It was the 10-year anniversary of the memorial for his stillborn twin sons, Karson and Deacon.

Chantelle Bielicki, one of Nosha鈥檚 daughters, likened the tragedies to something from a film.

She told TeesideLive she believed her father, who did not have any prior heart conditions, had died of a 鈥渂roken heart鈥.

鈥淚 think seeing all the family together like that must have been too much.鈥

The North Yorkshire family carried on with the service as he was taken away, receiving news of his death later.

Chantelle described her father as a private but well-liked man who she 鈥渋dolised鈥.

She also said her children would dearly miss their uncle David, who 鈥渉ad a heart as big as the ocean鈥.

Chantelle thanked Rose Funerals for their continued support, expressing that her family 鈥渃ould not have got through that day without them鈥.

鈥淭hey were patient, caring and went through every emotion with us, all the time they were working to save my dad although they were traumatised too.鈥

The funeral service for Nosha has been organised for September 18.
