Model Lotte van der Zee, from Holland, passed away after falling into a coma following her cardiac arrest while on holiday in Westendorf, Austria with her family.

They said: "Our pearl, our everything passed away on Wednesday evening March 6th at 22:47. It is incredibly surreal that our dearly beloved Lotte is not around us anymore.

"Our hearts are truly broken. We would like to thank you all again for all the support and heartwarming messages."

They posted the message alongside a picture of their daughter wearing a red ski outfit and beanie hat while enjoying the snow.

Speaking to a local newspaper, the parents said Lotte had been out with friends the night before her heart attack but that she had returned "cheerfully and without health complaints."

But she did not appear for breakfast and when her parents went to check on her they found her ill in bed.

They wrote on their daughter's Instagram, that her sickness "swiftly escalated in sudden cardiac arrest" later that day.

She was resuscitated by her mother and rushed to a nearby hospital where she was placed in a medically induced coma.

No history of heart disease and that happens to a healthy 20 year old? Why do I suspect foul play?

Reminds me of a recent story about the podcaster/comedian Kevin Barnett. Guy was 32, in good health and visiting Mexico in January. He made a few Tweets there, died seemingly without cause and now they're saying it was complications from pancreatitis.

Or really good drugs. Heart attack would likely fall under stimulants, maybe cocaine, but I'd put my money on ecstasy.

Maybe just a freak clot or a heart condition that went unnoticed? Every once in a while I see on the news how a 15 or 16 year old high school football player dropped dead in practice due to a previously undiagnosed heart condition, no other cause found. It's sad and scary, but it does happen.

You have to figure it's a possibility. I mean at that young of an age, you're not really expected to have clotting trouble or heart troubles, so unless you're exhibiting tell tale symptoms that usually don't appear until middle to old age, and kids normally wouldn't exhibit those symptoms. Even if they had some kind of symptoms, the lack of experience and youthful belief that they're impervious to everything would lull them into a false sense of security where their health is concerned.

They wouldn't know the difference, they'd just believe they're ok even if they're not... and then boom, they're gone.
