A woman has sadly died after suffering from a brain aneurysm while on her honeymoon in Amsterdam.
Madison Noronha, 27, from Australia, was enjoying her honeymoon last week when she suddenly became unwell.
After falling unconscious and collapsing on the street, Madison was rushed to hospital where CT scans discovered an aneurysm.

The NHS explain that an aneurysm is a bulge in a blood vessel caused by a weakness in the blood vessel wall.
Most brain aneurysms only cause noticeable symptoms if they burst.
This leads to an extremely serious condition known as a subarachnoid haemorrhage, where bleeding caused by the ruptured aneurysm can cause extensive brain damage and other symptoms.
A ruptured brain aneurysm is considered a medical emergency.
While Madison underwent surgery, the newlywed sadly passed away two days later.
Speaking about the death of his new wife, husband Kyle said doctors 'could not believe the size of the aneurysm'.
"Absolutely shatters me trying to type this," he wrote online.
"Our beloved @madison.noronha was rushed to hospital on Wednesday afternoon here in Amsterdam after collapsing unconscious in the streets.
"CT scans revealed a large bleed to the brain and also which has turned out to be a fatal aneurysm to her brain. Madi had instant brain surgery to relieve pressure from the bleed.
"The doctors could not believe the size of the aneurysm and nothing could prevent this from happening and nothing could be done to save her. Madi fought like she always does right to the very end.
"She passed away in my arms surrounded by all her loved ones at 10:59pm here in Amsterdam. My darling wife I cannot comprehend what has happened im in a million pieces. Forever and always babe."
A fundraiser has now been set up by a friend of Madison and Kyle.
It reads: "Madison Noronha (Chatham) was loved and cherished beyond measure. Madi was in Amsterdam with her husband Kyle when she had a fatal brain aneurysm. Doctors tried their hardest to save Madi but tragically nothing could be done to save her.
"We are all left heart broken, but can’t imagine the pain that Kyle and her immediate family are experiencing. Madi’s parents have graciously agreed to let us create this page, to help raise money to ease the financial stress and burden off the family during this incredibly difficult time.
"Funds raised will help with flights, funeral costs and to help bring our beloved Madison home to be laid to rest."
So far, the page has raised over $60,000AUD (£31,490), which has exceeded the $50,000AUD target.
