A British mother who tragically died on holiday in Turkey was found to have had lost her life due to food poisoning.
Beth Martin, 28, from Portsmouth, became 'delirious' on the first day of the trip and was placed in critical care.
She had been on holiday with her husband Luke and two children, aged eight and five but died around a day after she was taken into hospital on April 28, it was reported by the Daily Mail.
Her family claimed they were not informed about the serious nature of her condition and Turkish authorities had accused Luke of 'poisoning' his wife.
It emerged following a UK autopsy that Mrs Martin's heart had been removed following her death although no permission had been sought from her family, according to a family fundraiser.
A new report has indicated that the mother had died due to food poisoning, according to local media outlet Sozcu and found no evidence she died from 'traumatic effects'.
Findings, released by the Forensic Medicine Institution, said: 'It has been concluded that Martin's death occurred as a result of food poisoning and its complications.'
It reportedly added the full examination of Beth's heart had been completed.
'It broke me'
Her devastated husband Luke previously said he has suffered the 'deepest level of trauma' following his wife's death and added that telling his children they would never see their mother again 'broke him'.
'Two weeks ago me, my wife and two kids set out for a family holiday to Turkey. Only three of us made it back,' Luke wrote on social media on May 11.
'I lost my wife, my children lost their mum, we lost the biggest piece of the puzzle that was our family.
'It has been the worst and most traumatic week of my entire life, and to top it off. I had to break the news to my babies that their mum isn't coming home, it broke me.'
Mrs Martin started to feel unwell after the family touched down at the airport in Turkey on Sunday, April 27, leading her husband to call for an ambulance the following day.
She was taken to a 'destitute' hospital where she was quickly transferred into intensive care.
It was claimed on a GoFundMe page, Mr Martin was 'banned' from seeing his wife and had not been updated on her condition as she was being cared for in hospital.
Doctors raised concerns at the time about Mrs Martin's heart but she died the day after being taken into hospital.
The family alleged they were made to carry her body in a bag throughout the hospital and claimed they were told they would have to wait more than a fortnight to repatriate her body so Luke 'paid thousands' for her to be flown home alongside him on the same flight.
