A rising New Zealand teenage sporting talent has been found dead after a suspected epilepsy seizure over the weekend.
Jayda Akuhata-Brown had represented New Zealand in shot put and basketball and was found dead on Saturday.
The 14-year-old had a history of epilepsy and it's believed she suffered a seizure in the shower before hitting her head.
"Losing her has not really sunk in yet," her mother Donna Rowe told Stuff. "She achieved so much and touched so many people in her life."
Last year, Akuhata-Brown told the Herald she wanted to compete in the Olympics and become the next Valerie Adams.
