She is said to have put her sickness down to food poisoning from a “dodgy Chinese” before becoming “delirious” a day later

Speaking in a video posted to Instagram, Ellie Grey, a friend of Mrs Martin, claimed: “The insurance company wanted to move her to a private hospital, but the public hospital in Istanbul were not co-operating, they were being slow and delaying reports and not sending information over.

“They transferred her to another hospital to have an angiography done, but they said the heart was fine and transferred her back and still didn’t transfer her to a private hospital. Then she died.”

Turkish Ministry of Health officials have said Mrs Martin died after a “cardiac arrest due to multiple organ failure” but did not explain its cause.

The couple along with their two young children, Elouise, 8, and Tommy, 5, left for a dream vacation to Turkey on April 27, only to experience a nightmare after Beth fell ill during the flight.

The NY Times report mentioned that the grieving family alleged the Turkish doctors hid the truth from them and that she was “pinned down, poked and prodded invasively" before her death. They are still in shock wondering what might have transpired in her last hours.

I could be wrong, but this doesn't sound like an ordinary blood clot to me.

I thought that was Karen Read in that first picture of her above! Looks a lot like her to me (a younger, happier Karen Read).

So the hospital has not stated any explanation for her heart missing? That's scary.
