A DAD has died after his loud snoring turned out to be a symptom of a brain tumour.
Michael Mackay would snore so loud that his loving wife Trish would be able to hear him from downstairs.

When Trish heard his snoring she went up to see him and realised he was having a seizure and from then the family spent months waiting for tests to be carried out.
The 52-year-old dad-of-two died on March 26 after doctors found an inoperable tumour on his brain in October.
