A mother tragically died just hours into her vacation, and coroners later discovered that her heart was missing
raising urgent questions about medical negligence, hospital liability insurance, and international patient rights.
Beth Martin, a mother of two from Portsmouth, became unwell during her flight to Istanbul — a scenario that often falls under travel health insurance claims and emergency medical evacuation procedures.
According to The New York Post, she initially attributed her symptoms to food poisoning, but then her condition deteriorated rapidly upon arrival — a decline that could warrant urgent diagnostic lab testing and cardiac health evaluations.
Within hours, she exhibited signs of delirium and was admitted to Marmara University Pendik Training and Research Hospital. She passed away the following day, April 28 — a timeline that would typically trigger post-mortem analysis and hospital cost assessments under international health policy coverage.
