An inquest heard the nurse, of Cyncoed, Cardiff, was found collapsed in a Premier Inn hotel in Pentwyn, Cardiff.

She died at the University Hospital of Wales after suffering a cardiac arrest.

Coroner’s officer Robert Lewis said the provisional cause of death was ‘unascertained.’

Assistant coroner Thomas Atherton adjourned the inquest in Pontypridd, South Wales, until May 24 next year.

Speaking after her death, Bronwen’s family described her as ‘the greatest sister, daughter and friend.’

Sister Tesni, 24, said: ‘We are heartbroken to say that our beautiful Bronwen sadly passed away on Thursday, after fighting so very hard to battle with her mental health.

‘For those of you who knew Bron, you’ll know she was the most beautiful, thoughtful, inspiring and loving person. We as a family are broken.

‘We would like to say thank you to everyone who has sent their love and condolences, it is so warming to see how many lives Bronwen touched and how loved she was.

‘Bronny, we will forever love you, thank you for being the greatest sister, daughter and friend.’

Dozens of friends paid tribute to amateur boxer Bronwen on social media with one saying the ‘nursing world’ would be worse off without her.

Katie Scott wrote: ‘Both a mental health nurse and a boxing champ, your talents saw no bounds, blessed with beauty, brains and bubbliness you really were the best around.

‘We will treasure all our memories as our lives go on. And forever love and remember you, our beautiful Bron.’

Stacey Horne said: ‘I could tell you had a heart of gold. Such a kind and caring human who would have given her last penny to anyone in need.’
