Tragedy as SBS producer Bridget Munro dies suddenly after ‘massive seizure’ leaving behind husband Adrian Arciuli and two kids
Tributes have poured in for the family of SBS World News senior producer Bridget Munro following her shocking death this week.
The mother-of-two tragically suffered a ‘mass attack’ on Wednesday, leaving behind her husband, SBS presenter Adrian Arciuli, and daughters Gracie and Margot.
Mr Arciuli shared the devastating news on social media on Thursday evening, along with a photo of ‘Bridgie’ smiling.
“On Wednesday November 22nd at 3.50pm our lives changed forever when our sweet Bridgie tragically and unexpectedly passed away after a massive seizure,” he wrote.
SBS World News senior producer Bridget Munro tragically passed away on Wednesday, leaving behind her husband of four years and her two young girls.
‘It’s hard to believe that this was the last photo I would take of my soulmate ten days ago, as we celebrated our fourth wedding anniversary and our first outing alone since Margot was born in April. We felt like 17-year-old kids sneaking out for a date.”
“It is fitting that this photo captures all of her wonderful qualities that we have all come to love,” Mr. Arciuli added.
The heartbroken husband went on to say that Mrs Munro was one of the world’s greatest human beings ever.
“Her beauty, her bubbly personality, her warmth, her spirit, her compassion and so many other things that made her one of the best people on this planet,” he said.
“Our lives will never be the same and our hearts are shattered into a million pieces.”
“While mine and so many other hearts will have a huge hole for the rest of our lives, we will celebrate you day by day and honor your legacy by ensuring we raise our beautiful girls Gracie and Margot to be just like their amazing mom,” the grieving husband wrote.
“My dear Bridge, I will love you forever.”
