Laetitia's father, Bill, had a stroke in April.
After his heart valve operation last year, a filament of something attached to the replacement valve was noticed. It was still there a few days before the stroke but had disappeared after it, so it may have been something that dislodged and got stuck in his brain but it isn't known for sure.
So why wasn't it removed when it was noticed originally? Because that would have required open-heart surgery, the after-effects of which may be why it developed in the first place - kind of pointless, really.
