It was only upon Martin’s return to the U.K. that her family allegedly made the horrifying discovery: her heart was missing, according to reports. Such a revelation has intensified concerns over surgical consent violations, autopsy rights, and potential OB-GYN or pathology liability under international law.
Her bereaved relatives are now desperately seeking answers as to what happened to Martin after she passed away.
They insist they were not asked for permission, nor did they give it, for her heart to be removed — raising further questions about legal medical consent, cross-border patient rights, and organ retention protocols.
To make matters worse, Martin’s husband, Luke, had even been accused of poisoning his wife by Turkish authorities before being released. The situation now calls into question the handling of toxicology reports, legal jurisdiction, and travel health insurance investigations in foreign hospitals.
He said his wife was being treated in intensive care, and claimed they suddenly banned him from seeing her, reports The Sun. Denial of access to a partner under such circumstances is often considered a violation of patient advocacy rights, particularly when a hospitalized individual lacks a medical power of attorney.
The next day, Martin and Luke’s parents flew out, only to discover she had been transferred to another hospital without anybody being told — a lack of transparency that’s troubling in terms of international patient coordination, hospital liability, and emergency health care coverage.
