A fitness fanatic died at home after drinking alcohol on an empty stomach.
Alice Burton Bradford collapsed from rare metabolic complication called alcoholic ketoacidosis.
The 27-year-old suffered from the rare issue which is a metabolic complication that can be triggered from drinking on an empty stomach.
She died in the garden of her home without reaching hospital on June 1.
Friends say Alice, from Brighton, was not an alcoholic and was a health fanatic, always cycling and running.
Aaron Mulvay, who had known her for eight years, said: “It was absolutely a horrible shock. No-one expected it at all.
"Just three weeks before she died, she had cycled over to say hello at a distance."
The 30-year-old friend the The Sun : “We’re not sure how much she had been drinking that weekend, but she was not an alcoholic.
“She had not eaten enough and it had triggered acid in her stomach.
“It was just so sudden – she didn’t even have to go to hospital, but had gone out into her garden and passed away there."
Mr Mulvay, who is in close contact with Ms Burton Bradford's family who live in Cornwall, has raised £979 so far in a crowdfunding campaign for a memorial bench.
Mr Mulvay, from Rottingdean, described her as a fun person who loved nature and running.
They met when they worked at The Font bar in Brighton.
"We worked together for four years at The Font but after she left we remained really good friends.
"We used to love going to festivals together, like the Wildlife Festival in Shoreham."
Alice died last month and an inquest will be held at a later date.
